flexors. What role does bi-articulation at this
joint play? How does this influence potential
injury mechanics?

These forces are the quadriceps muscle force (FQ), the patella ligament force (FPL), and the patellofemoral joint reaction force (FPF). The angles a and ẞ are with respect to a line that is perpendicular to FPF. Assuming a = 15°, ẞ = 20°, and FQ = 3725 N, use equations for static equilibrium to calculate (a) FPL, and (b) FPF. (Hint: To solve this problem consider using a coordinate system that is aligned with the principal axes of the patella instead of the usual vertical and horizontal axes). (c) Many people assume FQ and FPL are always equal in magnitude but this is only true under certain circumstances. Under what conditions are FQ and FPL equal in magnitude?

Using the hip joint reaction force example we did in class, if the moment arm for the cane is 30 cm and the cane force is applied in the vertical direction, how much would the cane force have to be to reduce the muscle force to 1.5BW? Under that condition, what would the joint reaction force be?arrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE 1. The longer the time tension is exerted, the greater the muscular endurance. * 2. The greatest amount of torque is produced by maximum tension in a muscle that is oriented at a 90° angle to the bone, and anatomically attached as far from the joint center as possible. * 3.The greater the torque a muscle can produce, the greater the movement it will produce on the body’s levers. * 4. When the fibers of a pennate muscle shorten, they rotate about their tendon attachment or attachments, progressively decreasing the angle of pennation. * 5.The fast-twitch fibers have smaller diameter than the slow-twitch fibers. * 6.At maximum velocity, no cross-bridges can form, so no force is generated, resulting in the production of zero power. * 7.The smaller number of cross-bridges results in a larger amount of force. *…arrow_forward

Match the following bones with whether they are part of the axial or appendicular skeleton. A B C A Axial B Axial Appendiculararrow_forward7aarrow_forwardThe adjacent diagram displays the joint reaction force between the acetabulum and femoral head for the right leg during single leg stance. Also shown are the abductor muscle force (AMF), the weight of the body above the level of the stance hip (W) and their corresponding moment arms with respect to the joint centre (D and D1). If the right leg weighs 1/6 of total body weight, the ratio of D1 to D is 2.4, and AMF is angled at 30 degrees relative to the vertical, calculate the: Abductor muscle force (2 marks). Hip joint reaction force (2 marks). Express both answers as multiples of total body weightarrow_forward
