Sensor and range-of-motion lab
Mon, Mar 1, 2027 · Week 7 · Human Anatomy & Physiology (Human Body Systems)
Today's goal: Collect EMG or range-of-motion data and record results in a data table.
This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.
Standalone M1 reference: 0° is the drawn straight-elbow reference. Increasing positive values mean more flexion. Whole degrees and whole seconds are the writing precision; t = 0 s is M1’s first entry. No self-testing or physical trials are required. Classroom rule: use M1 trial 1 as baseline. Mark the first later value at least 10° below that baseline only if the next value is also at or below the cutoff. Equality counts. A missing next value or final-only candidate cannot confirm the marker. This invented rule does not establish physiological fatigue.
M1 is a separate fictional teaching model, not another task or a person’s result. It uses R1’s angle convention and whole-degree, whole-second writing precision. Its time origin is its own first entry. Use the same invented rule with M1 trial 1 as baseline.
M1 trial 1 | 90° | 0 s | Reference row | no marker.
M1 trial 2 | 86° | 12 s | Entry supplied | no marker.
M1 trial 3 | 79° | 24 s | Entry supplied | no confirmed marker: the next value rebounds.
M1 trial 4 | 84° | 36 s | Entry supplied | no marker.
M1 trial 5 | 78° | 48 s | Entry supplied | first confirmed classroom decline.
M1 trial 6 | 77° | 60 s | Entry supplied | confirms trial 5.
Worked note: 90° minus 10° gives an 80° cutoff. Trial 3 is below 80°, but trial 4 is not. Trials 5 and 6 both meet the cutoff, so mark trial 5. Physiological fatigue onset is not established. These timestamps are not instructions for testing. Actual route: use the genuine assigned protocol, records and teacher rubric instead of D1 and its counts or rule. Do not complete both. Keep missing actual inputs pending.
| Trial | Flexion angle (°) | Time (s) | Supplied quality note | Classroom marker |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 90 | 0 | Reference row | None |
| 2 | 86 | 12 | Entry supplied | None |
| 3 | 79 | 24 | Entry supplied | Not confirmed by next entry |
| 4 | 84 | 36 | Entry supplied | None |
| 5 | 78 | 48 | Entry supplied | First confirmed classroom decline |
| 6 | 77 | 60 | Entry supplied | Confirms trial 5 |
This model shows the level of evidence and organization needed to complete: One clearly simulated table with reference, units, times and a bounded classroom marker; genuine assigned work replaces this practice.
- Name the variables and include units.
- Enter observations without changing the raw values.
- Check labels, calculations, and patterns before interpreting the data.
Keep the structure. Replace the question, facts, measurements, and evidence. Then recheck units, vocabulary, and whether the conclusion goes beyond the evidence.
Also due today: Use the worked method for your one chosen record, not an additional M1 response. Actual protocol, data and teacher rubric replace fictional practice; physical work and receipt remain pending without evidence.
Turn in: Raw data table with trial number, measured value (mV or degrees, with units), time, and fatigue-onset trial clearly marked.

Claim ceiling: A simulated angle table supports a classroom data check. It cannot establish physiological fatigue, health, actual sensor use, teacher clearance, official completion or an actual upload to Schoology.
One exam-style question that uses exactly what you practiced today. Try it before you reveal the answer, then read why each choice is right or wrong.
Tap an answer to see the full explanation. Nothing is recorded or graded.
It builds this reusable test skill: Knowing the correct instrument and units for joint range of motion.
- Name the concept or data pattern being tested.
- Cross out choices that violate that rule or the evidence.
- Justify the best remaining choice before checking the answer.
