3 Humerus The longest and largest bone in the upper extremity. Ulna A long bone in the forearm parallel with the radius; at the proximal is the elbow and the distal end is the wrist. Radius The other bone of the forearm, shorter than the ulna.

5 Carpals The wrist is composed of 8 separate carpal bones. Metacarpals The intermediate part of the hand skeleton that is between the carpals and the phalanges (up to the knuckles); 5 metacarpal cylindrical bones Phalanges The fingers of the hand contain 14 digital bones.

12 Types of Motion Translatory: all parts move toward same direction Rotatory/Angular: around a fixed axis General: combination of translation and rotation Location of Motion Transverse or Horizontal Plane Superior and Inferior Coronal or Frontal Plane Anterior and Posterior Sagittal plane Medial and Lateral

front to back Horizontally from side to side Perpendicular to ground Coronal

13 Axis of rotation Direction of motion Perpendicular to Sagittal axis (anterior posterior axis) Coronal axis (frontal axis) Vertical axis Horizontally from front to back Horizontally from side to side Perpendicular to ground Coronal plane Sagittal plane Transverse plane y - vertical axis x - coronal axis z sagittal axis

14 Magnitude of Translatory Motion Displacement: change of position that an object moves from the reference point C 3 m 3.6 m Velocity: rate of change in displacement v = dx / dt B 2 m A Acceleration: rate of change in velocity over time A = dv / dt

15 Magnitude of Rotatory Motion Angular displacement: rotation of an object about an axis in radians Δθ = Δθ 2 Δθ 1 Angular velocity: time rate at which an object rotates about an axis, or at which angular displacement between two bodies changes Angular acceleration: change of angular velocity over time

16 Degrees of Freedom 3 translatory motions along the x, y, and z axes and 3 rotatory motions around the x, y, and z axes 6 DOF of a rigid body Moving up and down Moving left and right Moving forward and backward Tilting forward and backward (pitch) Turning left and right (yaw) Tilting side to side (roll)

17 Questions for Analysis How many degrees of freedom does your paper robot arm possess? Using a protractor, determine the actual degrees of movement. Determine the angular displacement

18 Part II: Using what you learned in Part I, design and create another paper robot are that has three or more degrees of freedom. You can modify the existing paper robot arm or you can create a new paper robot arm Questions for Analysis: How many DOF does your new paper robot arm have? Describe the DOF. Using a protractor, determine the actual degrees of each movement. Determine the angular displacement for each DOF. What was different in design of your new paper robot arm that allowed for additional DOF?

19 Extrinsic Forces Gravitation force Fluid force Contact forces Intrinsic Forces Include muscles, ligaments, and bones Friction between articular surfaces Tension of antagonistic muscles, ligament, fasciae, and capsules Atmospheric pressure within the join capsule

20 Concepts to Consider: Force Vectors Point of application, action line and direction and magnitude Force of Gravity Gives an object weight, the magnitude of force that must be applied to an object in order to support it in a gravitational force Weight = mass x 9.8 m/s 2 or 32.2 ft/s 2 Center of mass: the point where all of the mass of an object is concentrated

Equilibrium Law of Inertia: every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it F = 0 Law of

21 Equilibrium Law of Inertia: every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it F = 0 Law of Acceleration: acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass; directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass a = F/ m Reaction Forces Law of Reaction: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Additional Linear Forces Tension: pulling force exerted when an object is being stretched or elongated Compression: force applied to an object tending to cause a decrease in volume Shear: force that

22 Additional Linear Forces Tension: pulling force exerted when an object is being stretched or elongated Compression: force applied to an object tending to cause a decrease in volume Shear: force that moves or attempts to move on another object Torque: the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis or τ = (F) (moment arm) Moment Arm = d In A, what is the moment arm? In B, what is the moment arm?

Classes of Levers First-class levers: effort force and resistance force located on opposite sides of axis of rotation Second-class levers: effort force located at the end of bar and fulcrum located

23 Classes of Levers First-class levers: effort force and resistance force located on opposite sides of axis of rotation Second-class levers: effort force located at the end of bar and fulcrum located at other end, with the resistance force at a point between these two forces Third-class levers: effort force is applied between the resistance force on one end the fulcrum on the opposite end Law of the Lever: Effort Arm x Effort Force = Resistance Arm x Resistance Force EA = distance effort force lies from axis of rotation RA = distance resistance force lies from axis of rotation

24 Mechanical Advantage (MA) Factor by which a mechanism multiplies the force or torque put into it; Ratio of effort arm (EA) to the resistance arm (RA) A second-class lever will always have a MA > 1 because EA > RA A third-class lever will always have a MA < 1 because EA < RA common in the body and the MA is poor; however, the speed of rotation created is high because the origin of the resistance force is located farther from the axis rotation than the origin of the effort force, it must travel a greater distance in the same time A first-class lever can have a MA <, =, or > than 1, depending on the locations of the effort force and resistance force versus the axis of rotation

25 Artificial limb is a type of prosthesis, an artificial substitute, that replaces a missing extremity such as an arm Needed for a various reasons, including disease, accidents, and congenital defects History Roman Capua Leg, found in a tomb in Capua, Italy dating to 300 BC, was made of cooper and wood Armorers in the 15 th and 16 th centuries made artificial limbs out of iron for soldiers who lost limbs

26 Types Transradial prosthesis: artificial limb that replaces an arm missing below the elbow Transhumeral prosthesis: one that replaces an arm above the elbow Current Technology New plastics and other materials, such as carbon fiber, have allowed artificial limbs to be stronger and lighter Additional materials allow for a more realistic look Myoelectric limbs allow more direct control Emerging Technology Robotic limbs
