CH1 Flashcards
kinematics
branch of mechanics that describe the motion of a body without consideration of forces or torques that may produce motion
variable with kinematics
position
velocity
acceleration
translation
linear motion in which all parts of a rigid body move parallel to and in the same direction as every part of the body
rotation
motion in which an assumed rigid body moves in a circular path around some pivot point
center of mass
2nd sacral vertebrae
sagittal plane movements
flex ext
dorsiflex plantar flex
forward and backward bending
frontal plane movements
abd add
lateral flex
ulnar and radial deviation
eversion and inversion
horizontal plane of movement
ER
IR
Axial rotation
axis of rotation location
convex member of the joint
accessory movements
passive translation of a joint due to the natural laxity within a joint
proximal segment rotates relative to a
fixed distal segment
distal segment rotates relative to a
fixed proximal segment
kinematic chain
refers to a series of articulated segmented links
pelvis->thigh->leg->foot
open chain
distal segment of the kinematic chain is not fixed and is able to move
closed kinematic chain
distal segment of a kinematic chain is fixed and not able to move
arthrokinematics
motion that occurs between the articular surfaces of joints
closed pack position
joint position of max congruency near end range of motion
loose packed position
all positions other than closed pack position
when is a joint least congruent?
mid range
noncapsular patterns may indicate
joint derangement
restriction o
kinetics
branch of study of mechanics that describes the effect of forces on the body
6 types of loads
unloaded tension compression bending shear torsion combined loading
stress-strain curve
provides a means for better understanding load accepting capabilities of a tissue
plastic region
where you have damage where the tissue has microtears and is longer than before
toe
region on stress strain curve with very little strain
