Q

Movement / Kinematic Descriptors - Position = ? Motion? It occurs in? We cannot determine what? Displacement refers to?

A
  • Position: Location of an object in space
  • Motion: Change in position
  • Motion: Occurs in Space and Time.
  • We cannot determine if an object has moved unless we compare its position at one point in time to another.
  • Displacement: Refers to the spatial element of motion, the change in location.

Q

Linear motion refers to? (2) Angular motion? (2) When motion occurs in more than one plane it is referred to as? In human motion the body segments undergo? (2)

A
  • Linear motion refers to the equivalent displacement in space of all parts of the object.

>> Translation

  • Angular motion refers to the non-equivalent displacement or rotation of part of the object

>> Rotation

  • When motion occurs in more than one plane it is referred to as general motion or 3-Dimensional Motion
  • Human motion which is 3-dimensional the body segments undergo both linear and angular motion

Q

How are the kinematics of gait most often plotted? What else is frequently used?

A
  • Motion (ROM on Y axis) is most often plotted against time (on the x axis) with the events of the gait cycle known to occur at specific times or percentages
  • Frequently angle-angle curves are also frequently used with one joint or segment plotted against the other.

Q

Why is an angle-angle diagram used?

A

At times however because human movement is based on the rotation of body segments in relation to one another an Angle-Angle diagram is used

21
Q

Joint Moments: represents? Quantifies the? Typically indicates? A moment is produced when?

A
  • the body’s response to an external load,
  • quantifies the net moment of all muscles crossing a joint
  • typically indicates which muscle group is dominant, expressed as flexor or extensor
  • A moment is produced when a force acts at a distance away from some reference point (joint center)
22
Q

Joint power is? Quantifies? Relates to? Joint power = ?

A
  • the work performed per unit of time,
  • quantifies the net rate of generating or absorbing energy by all muscles crossing a joint,
  • relates to the type of contraction (concentric versus eccentric)
  • Joint Power = Joint moment X Joint Angular Velocity

A
  • Muscle activity is often observed and measured to to identify the cause of motion.
