Pasco Human Arm Lab Report
I. INTRODUCTION
A person can move his or her arm through flexion or extension of his or her elbow joint using his or her biceps and triceps which create tension forces about the elbow joint. This lab's objectives are to measure the tension and relative angles creates utilizing the biceps and triceps in a variety of situations. The purpose is to use this data to infer the effect of differing angles and using applied loads on necessary muscle force for certain situations.
II. METHODOLOGY
A Pasco Human Arm Model was used to simulate the muscles and motion of an actual arm in this lab. Two built-in angle sensors measured the position changes in the shoulder and elbow. Cords were attached to the forearm and threaded through pulleys, to represent either the biceps or the triceps. Force sensors were attached to the cords or the model's hand, to measure the amount of force applied during the activities. Any recorded data was exported to a computer for analysis.
In activity 1, the shoulder was locked at 0°. A cord was attached to the standard biceps insertion point and threaded through the pulleys to simulate the biceps. A force sensor was attached to the free end of the cord, and another was attached to the model's hand. Measurements were recorded

A force sensor was attached to the free end of the cord. An elastic cord was connected between the biceps insertion point and the upper shoulder pulley. The lower shoulder stop was set to hold the shoulder at about 130°, and the upper shoulder stop was moved all the way up. The model's wrist was turned all the way back, and a ball was placed in the model's hand. The elbow was set to about 90° and was held in place by pulling on the force sensor. Measurements were recorded as the force sensor was pulled to throw the ball. Tension was maintained as the arm was slowly lowered back to its starting

Write An Essay On Igor Spetic
855 Words | 4 PagesIgor Spetic is a volunteer at the research center in the Louis Stokes Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He uses his left hand, which is his own flesh and blood, and his right hand, a plastic metal prosthetic (a consequence of an industrial accident). The prosthetic in his right hand uses the “myoelectric” device which is controlled by flexing his muscles in his right arm. Myoelectric prosthetics serves the purpose of an artificial limb while maintaining the appearance of the limb. Myoelectric prosthetics are different from body-powered prosthetics because body-powered prosthetics uses cables and harnesses strapped to the individual to mechanically and carefully guide the artificial limb through muscle, shoulder, and arm movements.

Bed 3110 Unit 3 Lab Report
2403 Words | 10 PagesThe measured tensions were normalized relative to the maximum tension and the lengths were normalized relative to the length at which maximum force was generated (Ln = 29 mm). The measured data and expected data were plotted together (Figure 3). Correlation between measured and expected tensions at the same normalized lengths was determined for the three expected segments of the length-tension relationship.2,3,4 This was done using piecewise linear regression and yielded r2isometric = 0.956033. The fitted curve for the isotonic experiment resulted in r2isotonic = 0.960557. The F0 was 19.5 N for the fit and 6.35 N for the guess.
Pathophysiological Tendinopathy
1725 Words | 7 PagesThe purpose of this essay is to describe structure and function of the tendon, present a discussion on the process of pathophysiological Tendinopathy and provide a review of known intervention used to manage or treat both acute and chronic tendinopathies. Tendons act to serve a connective tissue linking muscle to bony attachment points and in the case of the intermediate tendons that will act to link a muscle belly to another (Benjamin and Kaiser, et al). Tendons are a uniaxial and assist in force transmission thus being able to withstand external forces from multiple planes and angles (Kannus, 2008). Tendons are also responsible for storage of power and changes in the mechanical energy of the body of which in turn reduces muscular work by
