Summary Introduction

To construct: Free body diagram that demonstrates the use of cane that can alleviate the compression on the hip.

Concept introduction: Hip is the structure found in the vertebrates. It is also known as coxa. The hip region is made up of hip bone and acetabulum joint. The hip joints are responsible for pelvic inclination angle.

I. INSTRUCTION: Compute for the following given problem. 1. Emily can lift 21 kg (210 newtons force) using muscles that have a cross-sectional area of 6 cm2. Use this formula to work out how many newtons per square centimetre her muscles can pull with: Formula: Force/Area
Total compressive knee forces range between O 1-2 %BW O 2-4 %BW 3-5 %BW 0.5-1.5 %BW
TRUE 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. *…
