According to Clark 2001, The kinetic chain is made up of a ____________ system (________,
_________, _________, and _________) _________ system and __________ system - Answer -
- Soft tissue
- Neural
- Articular systems
- Soft tissue system is comprised of muscle, ligaments, tendons, and fascia
What may overuse injuries be traced to? - Answer - - Improper technique (compensations)
- This puts too much stress somewhere else in the kinetic chain
- Injured structure may be the victim and not the culprit
What do compensations and adaptations lead to? - Answer - - Tissue overload
- Decreased performance
- Predictable patterns of injury
When it comes to the stabilizing system of the spine, what are the three subsystems? - Answer -
1. Passive musculoskeletal (spinal column- tendons/ligs)
2. Active musculoskeletal (spinal muscles)
3. Neural and feedback
, What are the two subsystems of the spinal stabilizing system that give feed back to the
neuromuscular control unit? - Answer - - Spinal column (passive musculoskeletal)
- Spinal muscles (active musculoskeletal)
What are the two functions of the spinal column? - Answer - - Transducer function
(mechanoreceptor function)
- Structural function (spine stiffness)
What is the function of the spinal muscles? - Answer - - Muscle activation and coordination
- Individual muscle force
- Onset - magnitude - offset
What are the three basic biomechanical functions of the spinal system? - Answer - 1. Allow
movement between body parts
2. Carry loads
3. Protect spinal cord and nerve roots
The normal function of the spinal stabilizing system is to provide sufficient spinal stability to
match instantaneously varying demands due to what three things? - Answer - - Postural changes
- Static load
- Dynamic load
In a normal system with intact mechanoreceptors, what feedback loop occurs? - Answer - -
Intact mechanoreceptors
- Normal transducer signals
- Neuromuscular control/unit
