The document provides an outline of topics to review for an anatomy exam, including bone composition and responses to stress, types of fractures and joints, muscle fiber types and recruitment, forces affecting muscle generation, structures of the shoulder, wrist, pelvis, lower extremity, and spine, as well as common injuries. It recommends reviewing course textbooks and previous anatomy references in preparation for a test consisting of multiple choice, true/false, and matching questions, and reminds students to bring a scantron form for the exam.

BIOMECHANICS Anatomy Review Exam
o Bone Composition & the implications for injury
o Types of bones / examples o Bone responses to stress Modeling / remodeling Hypertrophy / Atrophy / Osteoporosis o Types of fractures ~ be familiar with pictures
o Joint structure ~ types of joints3 main categories, each with subdivisions
o Joint stability / mobility / flexibility~ close-packed vs loose-packed Relationship Factors affecting each o Techniques for increasing joint flexibility Active/Passive stretching; Reciprocal inhibition
o Behavioral properties of muscles (4)
o Fiber types ; Muscle fiber architecture (arrangement) o Motor unit recruitment o Roles of muscles o Bi- Multi-articulate muscles and the implications ( A/P Insufficiency vs Efficiency) o Factors affecting muscle force genertation (4) o Muscle strength / power / endurancewhat are they? o How to calculate torque production~ + / - based on direction o Concentric / Eccentric / Isometric actions
o Structure of the shoulder girdle ~ bones & joints
Muscles of the rotator cuff What is the main function of the shoulder girdle muscles? Scapulohumeral rhythm o Movements-understand what a movement is, e.g., shoulder abduction, & what muscle causes it o Structure of the wristknow bone names (carpals) o Saddle joint of thumbwhy is it important? What is its anatomical name?
o Bony landmarks of pelvis / femur / tibia / fibula / foot
o Joint loadshow much force is transferred to hip/knee joint during daily activity? o Joint structure and type o Quads / Hamstrings Major hip/knee flexor / extensor o Ligaments / soft tissue of hip knee and ankle Iliofemoral, ACL, PCL, LCL, MCL, Menisci, Deltoid o Varus / Valgus stresses o Lower extremity movements o Ankle sprainswhy 1 type more than another?
o Structure of the spine (motion segment)
o Characteristics of vertebraeach region o C1 / C2 ..structure, function, actions at joints o Spinal curvesnormal vs. abnormal o Movements of the spine o Common injuries
This is a very general review. Use your current text book and any previous anatomy references you may have!
