KIN 711—Biomechanics Study Guide
Quiz 1 – Biomechanics Review
g=9.81 m/s2
SOH-CAH-TOA
Kinesiology- the study of human movement that encompasses functional anatomy, muscle action
and movement patterns.
Biomechanics- the study of forces and their effects on human movement. Combines engineering
with anatomy and physiology.
Kinematics- study of motion and the relationship between displacement, velocity, and
acceleration. Ex: range of rotational motion that takes place at the knee during gait.
Kinetics- study of motion and the forces that act to produce the motion. Ex: the joint reaction
force between the tibia and femur during stair climbing.
Scalar- Magnitude only, no direction.
Vector- Magnitude and direction.

Physics Review- Practice… (look in green book for instructions)
- Be sure you can convert lbsN, Nlbs
- Resolving vectors (1 vector) (pg 7)
- Composing vectors (2 or more vectors) (pg 9)
- Drawing and solving Free body diagrams (pg 13, 17)
- Pulleys and Cams (pg 20)
Force= mass x acceleration (ma)
Shear forces- co-planer and opposite in direction Injury caused by shear force: blister.
Tensile co-linear forces- act in opposite directions to pull an object apart. Injury caused by
tensile force: ligament tear.  
Compressive Co-linear forces- act in similar directions to push together. Injury caused by
compressive force: compression fracture. 
Levers:
Mechanical advantage (MA)= force arm (FA)/ resistance arm (RA) = df/dr
 First class: FAR
 Second class: ARF
 Third class: AFR
Pulleys:
 Fixed pulley has a MA=1
 Moveable pulley has a MA=2
Quiz 2
Tissue Categories:
1. Muscle
2. Nerve
3. Epithelial
4. Connective tissue (CT)
Function: Connect, Protect, Support
Components: Collagen fibers-made of tropocollagen fibers, ropelike, wavy at
rest
Type I-ligament, tendon, fascia, synovium, skin, bone (thick, supportive)
Type II- cartilage, nucleus pulposus (thinner, less tensile strength, shape)
Elastin fibers- skin, ligamentum flava (flexible)
Fixed cells: fibroblasts, osteoblasts, chondroblasts
Migratory cells: lymphocytes, macrophages
Extracellular matrix (ground substance)
Proteoglycans are made up of many Glycoaminoglycans
(GAG)- provide support and attract/bind water
Properties of CT
Stress- force per unit area (pressure). units: N/sq m, Pascal
Strain- deformation that occurs under loading. Ratio of deformation to original
length (%)
Bending-lengthens on one side and shortens on other side
Torsion- twisting forces
Compression- force that pushes together
Shear- horizontal force
Plastic- a permanent change
Elastic- a temporary change
Fatigue- failure
Viscoelasticity
Time-dependent properties: longer stress is applied greater deformation
Rate-dependent properties: increase speed, decrease deformation
Hysteresis: heat release as cross-links break (represents plastic deformation)
Mechanical Behavior
Stress/strain
stiffness
Young’s Modulus=
Slope=
Changes in collagen affecting curve:
Age: ↓water, ↓elasticity, ↓ strength, ↓ adaptability
Disease (Diabetes)

Active insufficiency: inability of a 2-joint muscle to perform maximum concentric contraction
over both joints
Passive insufficiency: inability of a 2-joint muscle to maximally lengthen over both joints
Exercise:
Isometric-static/fixed angle
advantage- easy to perform, no equipment, can do early in rehab tx
disadvantage- specific to angles, not functional, no power (no speed)
Isotonic-fixed resistance, variable speed
Concentric- tension as muscle shortens
Eccentric-tension as muscle lengthens
Open chain: advantage- isolates muscle
Closed chain: advantage- function, disadvantage-more stress on joint
Isokinetic: fixed speed, variable resistance
advantage- fixed speed, max resistance throughout, multiple joints
disadvantage- expensive equipment, not functional
Isodynamic- resistance from elastic bands
advantage- tension changes, cheap, accessible, varying speeds
disadvantage- max resistance at end range
Force-velocity
Concentric: ↑ velocity ↓force
Eccentric contraction: ↑ velocity ↑force
Length-tension relationship
20% past resting length-max force can be generated
Carry objects at most total tension- needs least
amount of work

Patellofemoral Joint: Patella articulation with femoral condyles. Moves inferiorly with flexion and superiorly with
extension.
o Patellofemoral Pain syndrome: presents with pronation, IR, valgus knees (knock knees)
o Function: protects, tib-fem joint, improves MA of quads, decreases friction between quad and
fem. condyles
o Stairs
 Pain going up: tib fem problem
 Pain going down: patellofemoral problem
o Joint loading: load increases with flexion
 Open chain: increased load from 30-0 degrees
 Closed chain: increased load at flexion greater than 90
Q Angle: 18 deg in female, 13 in males. Measure from ASIS to patella and tibial tuberosity to patella.
Subluxation: usually a valgus force, patella usually goes laterally
Axes of the lower leg:
Mechanical: head of femur to head of talus (along tibial shaft)
Anatomical: down femoral shaft
-The angle created by the intersection of these two is physiologic valgus (170-175 degrees)

Ligaments:



Iliofemoral Ligament: limits hyperextension
Pubofemoral Ligament: tightens during abduction, extension and ER
Ischiofemoral Ligament: reinforces posterior joint capsule, tight during IR, ext., add.
Angle of Inclination: Angle between femoral shaft and neck, normally 125 deg.
o Coxa varum: less than 125
o Coxa valgum: greater than 125
Angle of torsion: angle between femoral neck and plane of the shaft, normally 8-15 deg.
o Anteversion: greater than 15 (compensates by internally rotating tibia)
o Retroversion: less than 8 (may present with ext. rotated limb)
Neutral Pelvis: ASIS and pubic symphysis should be in a vertical line, PSIS is lower than ASIS in horizontal plane
 Anterior Pelvic Tilt: ASIS in front of pubic symphysis, hip flexors shortened, spine extended
 Posterior Pelvic Tilt: ASIS behind pubic symphysis, spine more flexed, glut max and hams tight
Note: Carry a load on the affected side because the load and muscle work together against body weight.
Clinical Correlations:
1. Developmental Hip Dysplasia
Femoral head not located in acetabulum, usually occurs at birth
Risks: 1st child, female, family history, birth in a breeched position
Symptoms: asymmetric legs, reduced movement at hip, limping, “clicks”
Treatment: closed reduction or spica cast, open reduction and cast, PT
2. Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
3.
Temporary condition, head of femur loses blood supply
Affects children between 2 and 12 (usually)
Symptoms: Pain (aggravated by activity), limp
Treatment: rest, meds, cast/brace, PT (bone will typically reossify
Hip Replacement
LOWER EXTREMITY CLINICAL CORRELATION
Ligament Sprains and Muscle Strains
 Grade 1: less than 25% of ligament/muscle torn
 Grade 2: 26-75% of ligament/muscle torn
 Grade 3: >75% ligament/muscle torn
Diagnose by performing stability tests for ligaments and strength testing for muscles
Ankle Sprains:
 Lateral Sprain: MOI is inversion (CF torn) with plantar flexion (ATF torn)
o Grade 1: slight stretch of CF and ATF
o Grade 2: partial tear of ATF, stretched CF
o Grade 3: ruptured ATF and CF, other ligaments involved
 High Ankle Sprain: Syndesmoses injury, MOI is dorsiflexion and eversion with tibial rotation
o Takes longer to heal
Shin Splints (catch all term)
 Medial tibial stress syndrome
 Stress fracture
 Compartment syndrome
Tendinitis: occurs most often in the mid-section of a tendon, not at the insertion
Bursitis: often overdiagnosed, trochanteric bursa on lateral hip could be inflamed from falling or tight IT band
Labral Tear: occur more frequently
 Symptoms: anterior groin pain (often long periods of time), click

Ideal Plumb line for Posture:
- lobe of ear
- Bodies of cervical vertebrae
- Shoulder joint
- Midway through trunk
- Greater trochanter
- Anterior to midline of knee
- Slightly anterior to lateral malleolus
Function of spinal column: protect spinal cord, mobility, transfers load
Intervertebral Disc:
 Nucleus Pulposus: inner mucoid material, type II collagen, mostly water, resists compression
 Annular Fibrosis: Type I collagen, arranged in lamella (oriented at 65-70 degrees), rotation of
body applies tension to annulus.
 Vertebral end plate: areas where disc is attached to vertebral body, cartilage layer
o Schmorl’s nodes: occur with damage, nucleus pulposus moves into end plate
Lumbar spine facet joints:
L1-L5: oriented more in sagittal plane for greater flex/ext
L5-S1: oriented more in frontal plane for greater rotation and side bending
Angle of Inclination: between horizontal plane and articulation of the sacrum and L5, normally 30-35 deg.

Sacral Motion:
Nutation: flexion of sacrum (forward tilt) accompanied by posterior rotation of the pelvis
Rotation:
Anterior: PSIS high and ASIS low
Posterior: PSIS low and ASIS high
Upslip/Downslip: ASIS/PSIS all up or all down
Inflare/Outflare: ASIS closer to midline and PSIS away from spine (inflare). Outflare is opposite
Ligaments (from student presentation):
 Anterior longitudinal: taut during extension
 Posterior longitudinal: taut during flexion, runs in vertebral canal
 Ligamentum Flavum: constant resistance during flexion
 Interspinous: drawn tight only during extreme flexion
 Supraspinous: from C7 to sacrum, first to rupture in extreme flexion
 Thoracolumbar fascia
 Iliolumbar ligament: stabilizes L5 on sacrum
Clinical Applications:

60-85% of adults affected
Causes: osteoarthritis, herniation, fractures, overuse, posture…
2.
3.
4.
Herniated Disc
Most common at L4-5 and L5-S1 levels
Cause: nucleus pulposus loses water and is displaced through annular fibrosis
Can press on nerves causing N/T, pain. Symptoms are worse with sitting and bending, better with lumbar
extension
Treatment: bed rest, anti-inflammatories, PT, exercise
Spinal Stenosis: narrowing of spinal or nerve passageway
Cause: aging factors usually- osteoarthritis, disc degeneration, thickened ligaments, spinal tumors
Symptoms: progress over time, cramping, ease by bending forward
Treatment: Pain meds, PT, cortisone injection, surgery
SI Joint Dysfunction
Major source of LBP
Causes: leg length discrepancy, infection, spinal fusion, stress fractures of sacrum

Cervical Spine
ROM: flexion and extension together create 104 deg of motion
SB: 45 deg to each side
Rot: 90 deg to each side
Arthokinematics
Flexion- facets of superior vertebrae slides superior and anterior
anterior portion of disc is compressed
loose pack position
Extension- facet of superior vertebrae slide inferior and posterior
Posterior portion of disc is compress
Close pack position
Rotation (Right)- R facet moves posterior, contralateral (L) facet moves anterior
R facet moves inferior, L moves superior
R side gaps, left side opens
Sidebend (right)- superior vertebra tilts right and glides inferior, Left facet glides superior
Clinical examples
Spondylosis- degenerative changes causing narrowing of the disc and reduces space for
nerves leading to irritation
Whiplash- high velocity hyperextionsion and hyperflexion, may damge nerves,
ligaments, and tendons
Facet joint impingement- meniscoid cushion for facet jt locked in position
Nerve root irritation- caused by several different mechanisms that put pressure on nerve
(disc degeneration, osteophyte, etc)
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome- obstruction of subclavian artery or vein or brachial plexus
resulting in neurovascular changes (decrease pulse or numbness and tingling)
Kyphosis- posture cause by osteoporosis, weakness, or Scheurman’s disease
Scoliosis- may be function from posture or structural from fix deformity
