Exam 1 Flashcards
what is kinematics
position, velocity, and acceleration
motion of the body without regard to force
EX- AROM
what is kinetics
force, types of load
EX- manual muscle tests
what is the difference between biomechanics and kinesiology
biomechanics- application of life with mechanics, kinematics and kinetics fall in this range
kinesiology- study of movement, functional anatomy
what are the two types of motion for kinematics
translation and rotation
what is translation
all parts of a rigid body move parallel and in the same direction
rectilinear- straight
curvilinear- curved
what is rotation
circular path along a pivot point
what is angular motion
rotation of a joint
the body moves in a circular path creating an arc. the arc is different depending upon different points chosen
what is general planar motion
translation plus rotation
T/F: if there is rotation, there is an axis
true
T/F: during translation, there is always an axis, even if rotation is absent
False
if rotation is absent, there is never an axis
describe the motion: ice skater
rectilinear
describe the motion: broad jump
curvilinear
describe the motion: walking
curvilinear and rotation
describe the motion and why: cartwheel
curvilinear and rotation
the person is going from point A to B in a curved fashion as well as rotating around COM
describe the motion: tuck
where is the COM
rotation
outside the body
describe the motion: runner and javelin
curvilinear and rotation
curvilinear
describe the motion: ice skater doing triple jump
curvilinear and rotation
what is angular motion measured in
radians and degrees
why is it rotation of the forearm around the elbow? why is it not curvilinear motion? where is the axis?
the hand moves a greater distance than the elbow which is the pivot point
the axis is M-L
what is osteokinematics
planes and axis, degrees of freedom, close and open chain
what is arthrokinematics
joint motions, convex/concave rules, open/closed packed
what axis pairs with sagittal plane
M-L
what plane pairs with A-P axis
frontal
what axis pairs with transverse plane
longitudinal or S-I
what is degrees of freedom
number of directions of movements allowed at a joint
3 degrees of angular freedom = 3 cardinal planes
the convex on concave movements are equal to what direction
opposite- sliding and rolling go opposite directions
concave on convex movements are equal to what direction
same- the sliding and rolling move in the same direction
what is considered closed packed
maximal congruency
most ligaments are taut
stability
accessory movements are limited
what is considered open or loose packed
ligaments are slack
increase accessory movements
joint mobilizations are performed here
