study of human musculoskeletal system & musculotendinous system
Anatomic kinesiology -
application of mechanical physics to human motion
Biomechanics -
most widely used & accurate for all aspects of the body –standing in an upright posture, facing straight ahead, feet parallel and close, & palms facing forward
Anatomical position
is essentially same as anatomical position except arms are at the sides & palms facing the body
Fundamental position
To further assist in understanding the location of one body part in relation to another
Reference Lines
A line running vertically down the surface of the body passing through the apex of the axilla (armpit)
Mid-axillary line
A line that is parallel to the mid- axillary line and passes through the anterior axillary skinfold
Anterior axillary line
A line that is parallel to the mid- axillary line and passes through the posterior axillary skinfold
Posterior axillary line
A line running vertically down the surface of the body passing through the midpoint of the clavicle
Mid-clavicular line
A point midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic symphysis
Mid-inguinal point
Anterior –in front or in the front part •Anteroinferior –in front & below •Anterosuperior –in front & above
