Biomechanical qualities of the musculoskeletal system
A. Structural resistance Rigid – no deformation Stiff – resists deformation, but still deforms somewhat B. Structural adaptability Elastic – returns to original shape after deformation Plastic – deforms and remains changed Viscoelastic – time-dependent response combining elastic and viscous behaviour Fluid-like – adapts shape and redistributes force in multiple directions Liquid-like – flows and follows gravity, with minimal shape retention C. Active function Contractile – actively generates force (muscle action)
