1. A lever is a rigid bar that rotates around a fixed point called a fulcrum and is a simple machine that magnifies force and movement speed. 2. The three main components of a lever are the fulcrum, the effort arm where force is applied, and the resistance arm where the object to be moved is located. 3. There are three types of levers - first class levers have the fulcrum between the effort and resistance arms, second class levers have the resistance arm between the fulcrum and effort arm, and third class levers have the effort arm between the fulcrum and resistance arm.

This document discusses different types of voluntary movements used in physical therapy exercises. It classifies exercises as free, assisted, assisted-resisted, or resisted based on whether they involve gravity, external assistance, or resistance. Free exercises work against gravity alone and are used to improve relaxation, muscle tone, coordination, and confidence. They can help cure or rehabilitate patients, though some patients may be unable to perform them. The document outlines techniques for free exercises and their effects, including improved relaxation, joint mobility, muscle power, neuromuscular coordination, and confidence. It also describes circulatory and respiratory changes that occur with exercise like increased heart rate, blood flow, and respiration to meet tissue needs and regulate functions.ANATOMICAL PULLEYS.ppt

Anatomical pulleys in the hand redirect the pulling force of flexor tendons to provide precise control of finger movement. There are two types - annular pulleys, which are rings of connective tissue at the finger joints, and cruciate pulleys, which are smaller cross-shaped pulleys in between. Damage to the annular pulleys, especially the major A2 and A4 pulleys, can cause the tendon to be pulled away from the finger bone during movement, weakening grip. The pulley system enhances tendon power and allows normal range of motion in the fingers.ACTIVE MOVEMENTS.ppt

This document summarizes fluidotherapy, a dry heating modality. It transfers heat to the body through convection using a cabinet containing heated air and finely ground cellulose particles. This creates a fluid-like medium allowing limbs to float and exercises to be performed. Key effects include increased blood flow, pain relief and improved range of motion. It is used to treat distal extremities for conditions like pain, swelling and post-operative rehabilitation. Contraindications include fever, anesthesia or severe circulatory issues. Advantages include ease of use and allowing some active exercise in a comfortable, dry environment.Ultraviolet radiation in Physiotherapy

Ultraviolet radiation covers a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and X-rays. It is divided into UVA, UVB, and UVC based on wavelength. UV is produced by mercury vapor lamps and fluorescent lamps and can cause both immediate and long term effects on skin like erythema, pigmentation, vitamin D production, and skin cancer. The dosage of UV exposure depends on the lamp output, distance from the skin, exposure time, and individual skin sensitivity. UV therapy is used to treat conditions like psoriasis, acne, and eczema.Glenohumeral joint-ppt.

The document discusses static and dynamic stability of the glenohumeral joint. Statically, the joint is stabilized by the humeral head resting in the glenoid fossa, creating negative pressure. The rotator cuff muscles and deltoid provide a vertical force to counteract gravity. Dynamically, the deltoid, rotator cuff, biceps and scapulohumeral rhythm work together to precisely guide humeral movement and stabilize the joint throughout its range of motion. Scapulohumeral rhythm involves greater scapular movement in the first 90 degrees of arm elevation compared to humeral movement.Faradic Foot Bath, Faradism Under Pressure, Faradism Under Tension, Stimulati...

Cryotherapy involves applying cold to the body for therapeutic purposes. It uses cooling agents like ice, frozen gel, or vapocoolant sprays. The cold induces vasoconstriction which reduces blood flow, lowering metabolic rate and inhibiting inflammation. It also increases pain threshold and reduces muscle spasm. Cryotherapy can relieve pain, reduce swelling and spasticity, facilitate muscle contraction, and promote tissue repair. Contraindications include cardiac conditions, peripheral nerve injury, and cold sensitivity. Common application techniques are ice towels, ice packs, immersion, and ice cube massage.FARADIC CURRENT.pptx

A faradic current is a short duration interrupted direct current with a pulse duration of 0.1-1 ms and frequency of 50-100 Hz. It produces a biphasic, asymmetrical and spiked waveform. Faradic currents are used to produce near normal tetanic-like muscle contractions and relaxations. When applied to nerves and muscles, it causes sensory stimulation, muscle contraction, reduced swelling and pain, and increased metabolism. Faradic current is indicated for muscle reeducation, maintaining range of motion, loosening adhesions, and replacing orthosis. It involves placing electrodes on muscles or nerve trunks and gradually increasing and decreasing intensity to cause contraction and relaxation.Passive movements

Passive movement involves moving a body part without active muscle contraction. There are several types: relaxed passive movements where a therapist smoothly moves a joint within its pain-free range; accessory movements which are small rotational or gliding motions in a joint; and passive manual techniques like joint mobilizations and manipulations. Controlled stretching can also be applied to tight muscles and tissues. Passive movements help maintain range of motion, prevent adhesions, reduce swelling, and stretch contracted structures. They are important for patients who cannot actively move due to injury or condition.BIOMECHANICS OF ELBOW COMPLEX

Friction is defined as the force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact. Levers are described as rigid bars that rotate around a fixed point called a fulcrum. There are three classes of levers defined by the relative positions of the fulcrum, effort, and weight. Mechanical advantage is gained when the effort arm is longer than the weight arm, allowing a smaller force to overcome a larger load.LEVER ACTION.pptx

The document defines a lever as a mechanical device that produces a turning motion around a fixed point called a fulcrum. It describes the three parts of a lever as the rigid bar, fulcrum, and force/resistance. There are three types (orders) of levers - first order levers have the fulcrum between the force and resistance, second order levers have the resistance between the fulcrum and force, and third order levers have the force between the fulcrum and resistance. Examples of each type are given from both machines and the human body. Levers provide advantages by increasing speed, range, power, or mechanical advantage.Lever system - Exercise therapy

This document defines and provides examples of the three classes of lever systems in the body. A lever system uses a rigid bar (lever) and fulcrum to amplify force. The three parts are the effort, load, and fulcrum. The first class lever has the fulcrum between the effort and load, like the head nodding. The second class lever has the load between the effort and fulcrum, like plantarflexion of the foot. The third class lever has the effort between the load and fulcrum, like the elbow joint. Lever systems increase resistance and speed of movement through mechanical advantage.biomechanics.ppt

Dr. Jaymee Shells Perspective on COVID-19Jaymee Shell
油
Dr. Jaymee Shell views the COVID-19 pandemic as both a crisis that exposed weaknesses and an opportunity to build stronger systems. She emphasizes that the pandemic revealed critical healthcare inequities while demonstrating the power of collaboration and adaptability.
Shell highlights that organizations with gender-diverse executive teams are 25% more likely to experience above-average profitability, positioning diversity as a business necessity rather than just a moral imperative. She notes that the pandemic disproportionately affected women of color, with one in three women considering leaving or downshifting their careers.
To combat inequality, Shell recommends implementing flexible work policies, establishing clear metrics for diversity in leadership, creating structured virtual collaboration spaces, and developing comprehensive wellness programs. For healthcare providers specifically, she advocates for multilingual communication systems, mobile health units, telehealth services with alternatives for those lacking internet access, and cultural competency training.
Shell emphasizes the importance of mental health support through culturally appropriate resources, employee assistance programs, and regular check-ins. She calls for diverse leadership teams that reflect the communities they serve and community-centered care models that address social determinants of health.
In her words: "The COVID-19 pandemic didn't create healthcare inequalities it illuminated them." She urges building systems that reach every community and provide dignified care to all.One Health Rabies Control in Indonesia_APCAT meeting May 2022.pptx

Levers in Physiotherapy
- 1. 1 LEVERS LEVERS DEFINATION COMPONENTS OF LEVER TYPES OF LEVER EXAMPLES
- 2. 2 LEVERS LEVER LEVER is a rigid bar that rotates around a fix ed point called fulcrum(F). It is simple machine which magnifies the for ce and speed of movement. Rigid Bar Fulcrum
- 3. 3 LEVERS Component of Lever Fulcrum It is represented by the joint or is a point on the axis about which the rigid mass rotates. Effort Arm Effort (E) is the point where muscle is attached to the bone. It includes all parts of the rigid mass between the fulcrum and the point at which en ergy is applied to the rigid bar. EF RF F EA RA
- 4. 4 LEVERS Resistance Arm Resistance ( R ) is the poin t where object is held. RA includes all parts of the rigid mass betwe en the fulcrum and the point at which energy is applied to the object to be moved by the le ver.
- 5. 5 LEVERS Levers in Human Body Fulcrum Effort Force Resistance Force Muscle Force Joint Gravity/Weight
- 6. 6 LEVERS TYPES OF LEVER Mainly three: 1.First Class Lever 2.Second Class Lever 3.Third Class Lever
- 7. 7 LEVERS First Class Lever EA RA F EA RA In this F lies in between the point of applic ation of Effort and the point of application of Resistance.
- 8. 8 LEVERS Example of First Class Lever Skull represents the first class lever. Fulcrum Atlanto occipital joint Weight situated anteriorly in the face. Effort is supplied by contraction of posterio r neck muscle applied at their attach ment to occipital bone.
- 9. 9 LEVERS Second Class Lever In this the RF has a point of application betw een the F and the point of application of the EF. (EA>RA) EF RF F EA RA
- 10. 10 LEVERS Example of Second Class Lever In the lower limb when the heels are r aised to stand on toes Tarsal & Metatarsal bones form lever Fulcrum Metatarsophalangeal joints. Weight of the body transmitted through the an kle joint to talus. Effort at the insertion of tendo-calcaneum by the contraction of calf muscle.
- 11. 11 LEVERS Third Class Lever In this the EF has a point of application betw een the F and the point of application of the RF. (RA>EA) EF RF F EA RA
- 12. 12 LEVERS Example of Third Class Lever When lever is the forearm. Fulcrum Elbow joint Weight Some object held in the ha nd Effort by the contraction of bicep s muscle applied at its inser tion.
- 13. 13 LEVERS MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE ( M Ad) It is a measure of the efficiency of the lever. M Ad = EA / RA Whenever MA is > than one, the magnitude of the effort force can be smaller than the ma gnitude of resistance. I.e smaller effort is req uired to overcome a large resistance.
- 14. 14 LEVERS In all 2nd class lever, the MA of the lever is g reater than than one as EA > RA. In our body majority are 3rd class levers. Mechanical advantage < 1.
- 15. 15 LEVERS Uses of Lever By learning the concepts of various type s of lever these principles can be applied in almost all aspects of therapy. To make exercise more resistive long le ver arm can be selected. Contrary in the beginning short lever arm is preferred.
