Components of Muscular Control
This system includes motor neurons and motor units
What is the nervous system?
The muscle that actively creates a movement
What is the agonist?
Step 1 focuses on identifying this.
What is the joint movement?
This formula helps practitioners analyze how muscles act during movement.
what is the muscle control formula?
During the overhead press portion the shoulder is performing this joint action.
What is shoulder flexion?
These are recruited base on force demand
What are motor units?
When agonist and antagonist contract at the same time
What is coactivation ?
When movement and external force go in opposite directions, the muscle action is this.
What is concentric?
This the total number of steps in the muscle control formula.
What is 6?
From A-B the ankle movement is this.
What is dorsiflexion?
This principle states that muscle produce the greatest force when they are at or near their resting length.
What is the Force-Length Relationship?
This term describes canceling out unwanted movements.
What is neutralization?
This type of contraction occurs when there is force but no change in joint angle.
What is isometric?
This field uses the muscle control formula during rehab.
What is physical therapy?
From B-C all joint motions occur in this anatomical plane.
What is the sagittal plane?
The brain initiates and executes movements through coordinated neural pathways and muscle fibers.
What is voluntary muscle control?
Muscles that oppose the movement or position
What are antagonists?
Step 4 identifies this.
The plane of movement
This the main purpose of the muscle control formula when analyzing human movement?
What is identifying which muscles produce or control movement?
The prime movers for knee extension from B-C
What are the quadriceps (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius)?
Central nervous system plans, directs and executes movement.
What is motor control?
When multiple muscles work together as one coordinated unit.
What is muscle synergy?
This plane involves rotational movements like internal / external rotation.
What is the transverse plane?
From A-B the external force acting on the body flexion because of this.
What is gravity and weight of the barbell?
