8. Jamshidi AA, PT8 A stress-strain curve for tendon Five distinct regions A.toe region B.linear region C.progressive failure region D.major failure region E.complete rupture region

9. Jamshidi AA, PT9 Toe region: there is little increase in load with lengthening Linear region: increased elongation requires disproprtionately larger amounts of stress. Microfailure of the tendon begins early in this region (2 to 6% strain). Region of progressive failure: the slope of the stress-strain curve begins to decrease, indicating microscopic disruption. The gross tissue appears to be normal and intact (6% strain). Region of major failure: The slope of the stress- strain curve now flattens dramatically. There is visible narrowing at numerous points of shear and rupture (6 to 12% strain). Region of complete rupture: The slope of the stress-strain curve falls off, indicating a total break in the gross tendon. (12 to 15% strain)

13. Jamshidi AA, PT13 Kinematics Description of the movement of the body, independent of the forces or torque that cause movement and include: Linear & Angular displacement Velocities Accelerations – Type of motion Translation: linear motion in which all part of a rigid body move parallel to and in the same direction as every other parts. Rotation: all points in the rigid body simultaneously moves in a circular path about some pivot point (axis of rotation).

14. Jamshidi AA, PT14 Kinetics Describe the effect of forces on the body. – Force: push or pull that can produce, arrest or modify movement. – Newton’s second law: quantity of a force (F) can be measured by product of the mass (m) multiplied by the acceleration (a) of the mass. Force is zero when the acceleration is zero. Kinetic analysis include: moment of force produced by muscles crossing a joint, the mechanical power flowing from muscles, energy changes of the body

19. Newton's Laws

20. Jamshidi AA, PT20 1.4 Newton's Laws Newton's first law: –A body at rest will remain at rest; a body in motion will remain in motion –Bodies in motion will travel at constant velocity and in a straight line –Requires the sum of the forces acting on a body to be zero (thus, the body is in equilibrium) – SF = 0 – SM = 0

21. Jamshidi AA, PT21 Newton’s First Law LAW OF INERTIA Inertia is related to the amount of energy required to alter the velocity of a body The inertia within a body is directly proportional to its mass Center of mass is where the acceleration of gravity acts on the body (center of gravity) Mass moment of inertia of a body is a quantity that indicates its resistance to a change in angular velocity I = m X r 2

24. Jamshidi AA, PT24 1.4 Newton's Laws (cont.) Newton's second: –A body with a nonzero net force will accelerate in the direction of the force –The magnitude of the acceleration is proportional to the magnitude of the force – SF = m * a –Thus, the first law is a special case of the second law

25. Jamshidi AA, PT25 Newton’s Second Law LAW OF ACCELERATION Linear motion: force-acceleration relationship ΣF = m X a – ΣF designate the sum of or net forces Rotary motion: torque-angular acceleration relationship ΣT = I X α – ΣT designate the sum of or net forces

29. Jamshidi AA, PT29 Newton’s Third Law LAW OF ACTION-REACTION Every effect one body exerts on another is counteracted by an effect that the second body exerts on the first The two body intact is specified by the law of acceleration ΣF = m X a Each body experiences a different effect and that effect depends on its mass
