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
