04_Functional Anatomy

Functional anatomy classifies muscles according to:

• size

• shape

• action/motion

• all of the listed

What technique is used to identify when and how active a skeletal muscle is?

• functional anatomy

• electrocardiogram

• electromyography

• electroencephalogram

_________ is the simultaneous activation of many muscles to create a specific force or action.

• agonist

• antagonist

• synergy

• electromyography

For biomechanics, we assume the body is composed of rigid segments. This is an example of:

• modeling

• simulation

• inverse dynamics

• temporal-spatial parameters

Consider sagittal plane motion of a squat. During the upward phase identify:
1) knee motion

2) torque responsible for the motion

3) muscle action

4) active muscle group

Consider sagittal plane motion of a squat. During the downward phase identify:
1) knee motion

2) torque responsible for the motion

3) muscle action

4) active muscle group
