Basic Kinesiology Flashcards
1
Q
study of movement
A
kinesiology
2
Q
application of mechanics to the human body
A
biomechanics
3
Q
differentiate statics vs dynamics
A
statics - bodies in uniform motion
dynamics - bodies that accelerate/deccelerate
4
Q
primary sources of forces on the body in kinetics
A
gravity, muscles, externally generated resistance, friction
5
Q
2 types of kinematics
A
osteokinematics (bone motion)
arthrokinematics (jt motion)
6
Q
differentiate which segments move vs. are fixed in CKC and OKC activities
A
CKC - distal fixed, moving proximal
OKC - distal moving, fixed proximal
7
Q
describe the anatomical position (6)
A
Standing erect
Head slightly in midline/neutral
Arms slightly abducted
FA supinated, feet apart
Toes extended
8
Q
difference of fundamental position
A
arms adducted and facing the body
