Vector Analysis
Force vectors give the magnitude and direction of muscle
and joint force needed to move a load. They also have
two key components, a point of application and line of
action.
• Magnitude (how much force) is designated by the length
of the vector
• Direction (of force) is designated by the direction of the
arrow
• Point of application is where the force is applied (typically
the center of the muscle’s attachment)
• Line of action is the infinite line at which the force is
acting.
Vector Components
Hamill & Knutzen, 2009
2-Dimensional Vectors
When looking at muscle vectors in two dimensions
(i.e. on one plane) it is the result of two components
• Horizontal Component:
• Stabilizing component: degree of parallel forces
generated on the lever (bone and joint) when the muscles
angle of pull is less than 90 degrees.
• Dislocating component: degree of parallel forces
generated on the lever (bone and joint) when the muscle's
angle of pull is greater than 90 degrees.
• Vertical Component/ Rotary Component:
• Force of a muscle contributing to bone's movement
around a joint axis; greatest when muscles angle of pull is
perpendicular to bone (i.e. 90 degrees).
Drawing Muscle Vector Components
1. Begin at the axis
2. Draw the Horizontal component
- Parallel to Lever
- Start at muscle insertion
90˚ all rotary (movement force)
> 90˚ Dislocating (force generated away form joint)
< 90˚ Stabilizing (force generated towards joint)
3. Draw Vertical Component
- Perpendicular to Horizontal Component
- Start at muscle insertion
4. Draw vectors ONLY long enough to make a perpendicular angle to the
resultant vector.
