Chapter 3 - Disciplines Of Functional Biomechanics Flashcards
Kinesiology
The study of human movement
Biomechanics
The study of how forced affects the living body
What is ground reaction force?
An equal and opposite external force that is exerted back on to the body by the ground
What does qualitative analysis involve?
Qualitative analysis involves applying principles of proper technique and combining them with observation in order to make an educated evaluation.
How does quantitative analysis contrast qualitative analysis?
Quantitative analysis involves taking physical measurements and making mathematical computations to reach a conclusion this can be seen in certain assessments, such as body composition testing.
What is anatomic position?
Anatomic position is the standard posture in which the arms of the side the trunk in the palms facing forward.
Anterior
Toward the front
Posterior
Toward the back
Superior
Closest to the head,
(above landmark)
Proximal
Located closest to the center of the body or landmark
Distal
Located farthest from the center of the body or landmark
Medial
Located toward the midline of the body
Midline
That which is contained within an imaginary line that supports the body into equal halves
Lateral
When located farthest from the midline
Contralateral
Opposite side of the body
Ipsilateral
Body part located on the same side of the body,
(left arm and left leg).
Sagittal plane
An imaginary plane there by six the body into two equal halves producing a left and right half.
Frontal plane
an imaginary play that by six the body to Eagle has producing a front and a back half.
Transverse plane
And imaginary plane that bisects the body into two equal halves, producing a top and a bottom half.
Where does sagittal plane rotation happen?
Around a medial-lateral axis
What is the medial – lateral axis?
An imaginary straight line that cuts through the body laterally from side to side.
What is the Anterior – posterior axis?
A straight line crossing of the body from front to back
pin that is crossing the shoulder joint from front to back
What is the longitudinal axis?
An imaginary long straight line the cuts that body from top to bottom
What type of joint movements happen along sagittal plane and medial lateral axis?
- Flexion
- extension
- Hyperextension
- Dorsiflexion
- Plantar flexion
- bicep curl
- Squat
- calf raise
- Running
What type of joint movements happened along the frontal plane and anterior – posterior axis?
Joint movements: •Abduction •Adduction •Eversion •Inversion
Exercises •Lateral arm raise • sidestep • Side lunge •Side shuffle
What type of joint movements take place along the transverse plane and longitudinal axis?
Joint movements: •Pronation •Supination • internal rotation •External rotation •Horizontal adduction •Horizontal abduction
Exercises: • turning door knob •trunk rotation •throwing basketball •swinging a bat
On the sagittal plane name the body segments reflection occurs in the anterior direction.
- Hip
- Trunk
- Upper extremity
- Neck
- Ankle
What is range of motion
The amount of movement produced by one or multiple joints
What is flexion?
A bending at a joint with a relative angle between the two adjoining segment decreases
(imagine the I’m going from 180° to 45° during a bicep curl)
What’s an example of dorsiflexion?
Pointing the two upward
Anterior tibialis raise
Give an example of plantarflexion l.
Extending the toes out words like any calf raise.
What is an example of hip flexion?
Bending over
What is an example of hip extension?
The opposite of bending over, extending pass a straight line
Give an example of the extension
Straightening up the leg
Give example of a knee flexion
Hamstring curl
Describe trunk spinal extension
Arching your back backwards
Describe trunk spinal flexion
Arching your back forward, like when you hunch over
Explain shoulder flexion
Performing a front shoulder raise is an example of a shoulder flexion
Give an example of a shoulder extension
When standing up with your hands at your side and reaching back behind your hips is an example of shoulder extension.
Give an example of an elbow extension
Holding your hand straight out to receive money is an elbow extension.
Give an example of an elbow flexion
Elbows bent
Like when Holding an object in front of your face such as reading a book for checking your Instagram is an example of an elbow flexion.
What’s a cervical flexion?
Neck
Tilting your neck down like when you look at your shoes your shoes
What is a cervical extension?
Bending your neck backwards
Looking up into the sky it’s an example of cervical extension because the neck is bent backwards in the head is tilted
In Which body segments would flexion occur in the posterior direction?
- Neck
- ankle
- toes
Extension
Pending a joint where the relative angle between two joining segments increase
What are joint actions that occur in the frontal plane?
- Aduction
- abduction
- lateral flexion at the spine
- eversion and inversion of foot
- shoulder elevation and depression
Give an example of a foot eversion.
While keeping The foot point forward and Rotating the foot outward
(Imagine trying to see the outside of your shoe)
Give an example of a foot inversion.
Toes pointed forward rotating the foot inward
Tilting your foot so you can look at the arches of your foot, like sitting Indian style
Given example of a hip abduction.
Standing up and stepping out to the side
Give an example of a hip adduction.
Standing up and crossing your feet
Given example of the lateral flexion
Standing up with hands on hips and tilting your head over the left or rightside of your body.
Give an example of a shoulder abduction.
Dumbbell lateral raises
Give an example of a shoulder adduction.
Chest flies with cables toward the bottom of the chest
Basically anything that pulls your arms toward the sides of your hips
Shoulder elevation
Dumbbell shrugs
Superior movement
Shoulder depression
Dropping your shoulders down for the dumbbell shrug
Inferior movement
Abduction
A body segment is moving away from the midline of the body
Adduction
