Balance

The golgi-tendon organ forms which aspect of balance?

• Neural

• Somatosensory

• Visual

• Proprioception

Which plane parameter in particular has been associated with increased fall risk

• ML displacement

• AP displacement

• 95% elliptical area

• COP path

How can we achieve equilibrium in the image?

• Reduce length of F2 lever

• Increase force of F1

• Create a longer lever for F1

• Increase force of F2

How can I improve balance/postural stability?

• Increase COM height

• Increase number/area of base of support

• Lower COM height

• Decrease number/area of base of support

Are we using 3SD's of body weight to help identify when the body is stable during hop and hold?

• True

• False

Why could eccentric exercise pose a greater fatigue response compared to concentric?

• Due to increased force required

• It creates additional microtrauma at the muscle

• Due to the reduced ATP requirement

• All of these

What will stop the person from falling?

• Concentric hip extensors, knee flexors and plantarflexors

• Eccentric hip extensors, knee flexors and plantarflexors

• Concentric hip flexors, knee extensors and dorsiflexors

• Eccentric hip flexors, knee extensors and dorsiflexors

My change in x coordinate is 6cm, and my change in y coordinate is 9cm - what is my COP path?

• 7.64

• 117

• 10.81

• 36.35
