Mechanical Energy as the Ability to Do Work. An object that possesses mechanical energy is able to do work. In fact, mechanical energy is often defined as the ability to do work. Any object that possesses mechanical energy-whether it is in the form of potential energy or kinetic energy-is able to do work.s already mentioned, the mechanical energy of an object can be the result of its motion (i.e., kinetic energy) and/or the result of its stored energy of position (i.e., potential energy). The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy.
A towel stretch is an effective way to stretch your psoas muscle. You can use a regular bath towel or a strap that's roughly the same length. To do the stretch, lie close to the edge of your bed on your stomach. Plant your outside foot on the floor and bend your other leg.
1 Horse has difficulty stepping under and rounding the back. 2  Horse develops rigidity in the back. 3  Horse loses impulsion. 4  Horse is unable or reluctant to lift hind leg for cleaning or for farrier. 5  Horse develops back pain âThe psoas muscle in the hind end is a particularly important muscle in dealing with back pain.s Dr. Harmann describes âThe psoas muscles [pronounced so-as] connects to the front of the femur and travels across the hip to the bottom of the ribs as far as the 14th thoracic vertebrae underneath the center of the riderâs seat.â. The psoas muscles are deep inside the horse's anatomy.
