Introduction To Biomechanics Flashcards
What is biomechanics
Synthesis of biology and mechanics that understands and explain human movement
Kinesiology explains the
Mechanical and anatomical features of the movement in the light of physiology
Types of biomechanics
Rehabilitation biomechanics Exercise biomechanics ADL biomechanics Occupational biomechanics Sports biomechanics
Exercise biomechanics
Examines the forces affecting the musculoskeletal system
Sports biomechanics
Application of the mechanical rules especially on the locomotor system
Evaluation of the structures and functions of the biological systems by means if mechanical rules
Biomechanics is the
Physical structure of body and physical movement
Mechanics of solid structures include
Statics…, moving with stable velocity
and dynamic … moving with unstable velocity
Dynamics has to do with
Kinetics and kinematics
Factors affecting movement
Person
motor task
Object
Environment
Motor task division
Action
Ambulation— in motion ( running, swimming etc)
Manipulation—- hand movements
Posture—- position
