*Please answer ALL parts of the question...Thank you!!!

Analyze the soccer kick. For each phase of the skill include:

  • Range of motion needed to perform task at each joint.
  • Movement and plane of motion at each joint.
  • Muscles acting as agonists, antagonists, and stabilizers at each joint and type of muscle contraction.
  • What may happen if any of the major muscles are weak or are not contracting correctly?

A patient comes into the ER after she was attacked. She is experiencing difficulty breathing after she was stabbed in the thorax. Scans show fluid in the thoracic cavity through a lesion in the lung; in short, a hemopneumothorax. Explain the pressure gradients that would allow air and blood to enter the thoracic cavity in the first place. What will happen to this patient without medical intervention? Explain each step of her imminent demise.
