61
Q

this is a movement in which on joint in a movement is independent of the other joints in the chain

Q

this is a movment in which one joint causes other joints in the chain to move in a predictable manner

A

closed chain

63
Q

An open chain movement usually involves this

A

a single joint moving, against some angular resistance
