BONUS QUESTION!!! Below are the 6-steps to the motor control analysis of simple joint motions. Perform this analysis on the knee joint only going from position A (in the air) to position B (landing in a squat). Step 1: Joint name and position/movement Step 2: Effect of external force on the joint Step 3: Type of muscle contraction Step 4: Plane of movement and axis of rotation Step 5: Position of muscles relative to the joint Step 6: Muscle names Step 1: Tibiofemoral flexion Step 2: Tibiofemoral flexion (as the body falls, the knee would collapse into a flexed position if no muscles were acting) Step 3: Eccentric (since 1 and 2 are opposite AND since this is a controlled flexion–the muscles are decelerating the fall) Step 4: Sagittal motion about the frontal-horizontal axis Step 5: Muscles would be lengthening ANTERIOR to the knee joint Step 6: Quadriceps (VLO, VMO, vastus intermedius, rectus femoris) **You can earn 1 bonus point for this question if you get it ENTIRELY correct.
