____ 37. Force is bidirectional and torque is unidirectional.
____ 38. Small forces imparted to the distal aspect of an extremity (i.e., ankle) create large torques to the
proximal joints (i.e., hip).

the segment or extremity.
____ 40. When the body or a body segment moves over a surface, friction also is a torque that affects
movement.
