Intro to kinesiology Flashcards
kinesis
to move
kinesiology
study of movement
kinetics
study of forces acting on mechanisms - with forces
kinematics
motion of a body (not considering the forces acting on it) without forces
biomechanics
study of how forces interact with a living body
kinematics broken down to 2 kinematics?
osteokinematics
arthorokinematics
osteokinematics
movement of bone
arhtrokinematics
movement of joint
translation
moving in the same direction - whole body walking/moving forward
rotation
same number of degrees at the same axis-joints
3 cardinal planes
sagittal
frontal (coronal)
horizontal (transverse)
sagittal
medial/lateral
left/right
flexion/extension
frontal (coronal)
front/back
add/abd
anterior/posterior
horizontal (transverse)
rotation
vertical/
axis
lies within the orthogonal plane, which is perpendicular to the plane in which the motion is occurring
orthogonal
right angle to
degrees of freedom
number of planes in which a joint can move
accessory motions
occurs simultaneously with osteokinematic motions
true or false: human movement rarely occurs in cardinal planes - we cross planes and move in multiple planes at once
true
closed chain kinematics
multiple joints moving - distal segment of kinematic chain fixed to an immovable object
open chain kinematics
one joint move - dial segment unconstrained
arthorkinematics motions
roll
slide (glide)
spin
roll
multiple points on one surface contact multiple points on the other
(if you have a roll, you will have a slide)
spin
single point on one surface articulates with (rotates on) a single point on the other
slide
single point on one surface contacts multiple points on the other (you don’t need a roll to have a slide)
convex on concave
roll and glide in opposite direction
concave on convex
glides in the same direction as the roll
close packed
good congruency
taut/tight ligament (pulled to its full extent)
increased stability
little accessory motion
(standing at full knee extension)
loosed packed
decrease congruency
loose ligaments
accessory motion is max
(knee in 30degree flexion)
stress
internal resistance to deformation / x sectional area of tissue
strain
% elongation compared to pre stretch length
Young’s modulus
ration of stress to deformation (strain) (Y/X)
– measure of tissue stiffness or elasticity
