Below
is a trial test, which you may take for practice
only.

True
| False
1.
A
1st class lever system is characterized
as being inherently stable
because its true resistance arm is aligned
180° with it’s true effort arm.
2.
2.
A 3rd class lever system is characterized
as being inherently unstable
because its true resistance arm does not
align with it’s true effort arm.
3.
The
spinal posture that best characterizes
the infant and elderly and their
inability to demonstrate agile locomotion
is the C-shape posture.
4.
If
the cartilage lining the articular surface
of a joint like the hip socket is wearing
out
you should be concerned that compressive
forces might be a cause.
5.
If
a ligament like the anterior cruciate
in the knee is being continually strained
you would be concerned that movements
creating shear forces were the problem.
6.
In
human movement the force of resistance
and the force of effort
add up to create the stabilizing force.
7.
The
ability to rise up supinely against the
force of gravity using 1st class levers
in the spine
characterizes a unique physical ability
of the adapted S-shape posture.
8.
Typically,
human mechanisms of shear stabilization
in the spinal column
are complex and need to be protected.
9.
It
is the position of the fulcrum relative
to the position of the application of
force and resistance
that determines if a lever system is 1st
or 3rd class.
10.
The
total amount of effort to produce successful
movement includes not only the initial
force of effort,
but also any forces required for stabilization
of the movement.
11.
The
total effort required to successfully
stabilize a movement like the sit up would
typically
be greater in a spinal column employing
3rd class levers rather than 1st class
levers.
12.
Descriptive
words like “uncoordinated”, “stiff”, “weak”
and “fatigued” when used to describe a
runner
could typically depict an individual with
improper spinal posture
requiring 3rd class lever systems at the
hip and knee.
13.
Developing
the proper upright adult S-shape posture
should best be looked at
as an 18 year long training and treatment
program.
14.
A. Shear forces
B. Compressive forces
C. Instability
D. Stability
A. and C.
When performing the human sit up movement,
3rd class lever systems used by improper
spinal posture
are characterized by ?
15.

D. Stability
B. and D.
When performing the human sit up movement,
1st class lever systems used by proper
spinal posture
are characterized by?
