Introduction to Kinesiology Flashcards
the study of movement -Bringing together fields of anatomy, physics, geometry and relating them to human movement
Kinesiology
Kinesiology utilizes principles of
- Mechanics or Biomechanics
- Musculoskeletal anatomy
- Neuromuscular physiology
Lecture Objectives
- Demonstrate between types of joints and list examples
fyi
Lecture Objectives
- Identify the degrees of freedom for various joints
fyi
Lecture Objectives
- Identify joint movements with appropriate terminology
fyi
Lecture Objectives
- Identify the anatomical planes of motion for each joint motion
fyi
this movement is defined as nonmoving interaction of an object
Static
this Movement is defined as moving interaction of an object
Dynamic
forces causing movement like Pushing, pulling, collision
Kinetics
time, space and mass aspects of a moving system like
Speed, friction, resistance or weight of an object
Kinematics
thes are examples of
- Laying supine or prone
- Sitting on the edge of the bed
- Still stance
- Watching TV on the couch
Static
These are examples of
- Rolling in bed
- Transitioning from supine to sit
- Putting on your sock
- Walking down the hallway
Dynamic Movement
So, why is movement important?
Helps you as a clinician to recognize balance and strength issues that your patients might have
Knowing proper terminology and movement trends will allow for what
continuum of care and ensure that the patient and next therapist continue to recognize issues that the patient needs fixed.
why is it important to understand Normal vs. Abnormal movement
- Understanding the correct and appropriate movements of the body will help you recognize patient problems and what to work on as a treatment
- Helps to form meaningful and appropriate goals
If you know what motions the joint allows and that a muscle must span a particular surface in order to cause that motion what can you tell ?
- line of pull of that muscle
Which lets you know the particular action of that muscle
- Upright position
- Eyes facing forward
- Feet parallel and close together
- Arms at the side of the body
- Palms of hands facing forward
Anatomical Position
- The same as anatomical position but with the palms facing toward the body
- This position is used to describe the rotation of the upper extremity
Fundamental Position
refers to a location near the midline of the body
Medial
refers to a location or position further from the midline
Lateral
refers to the front of the body
Also known as Ventral
Anterior
- refers to the back of the body or to a position more to the back
- Also known as Dorsal
Posterior
depends on relative depth
Superficial or Deep
away from the trunk
Distal
towards the trunk
Proximal
indicates the location of a body part that is above another structure or refers to the upper surface of an organ or structure
Superior
indicates that a body part is below another or refers to the lower surface of an organ or a structure
Inferior
position or structure closer to the head
Cranial
position or structure closer to the feet
Caudal
2 or both sides
Bilateral
opposite side of the body
Contralateral
same side of the body
Ipsilateral
Use R or R with a circle around it for
right
Use L or L with a circle around it for
left
proximal
Prox
inferior
Inf
anterior
Ant
posteior
Post
lateral
Lat
Bilateral
bil, B, or B with a circle around it
Straight line from one location to another
Linear Motion
- all parts of the object move in the same direction in a same line
Like a child sledding/skateboarding
Rectilinear Motion
- movement occurs linearly but in a curved path but not a circular path
Diver off of a board curving down into the pool
Curvilinear Motion
- all parts of the object move through the same angle, same direction at the same time. They DO NOT move the same distance.
Think of your arm: wrist, forearm and elbow into flexion – all parts are moving the same speed
Angular Motion/Rotary Motion
bending movement of one bone on another causing a decrease in the joint angle
- Usually occurs between the anterior surface of bones
- In wrist often called palmarflexion
- In ankle called dorsiflexion
Flexion
straightening movement of one bone on another causing an increase in the joint angle
- Hyperextension – the continuation of extension beyond anatomical position
- In ankle, called plantar flexion
Extension
movement away from the midline of the body
Abduction
movement toward the midline of the body
- “add the limb to your body” by bringing it closer to the core
Adduction
particularly the shoulder, flexed to 90degrees and is moved away from the body
Horizontal Abduction
shoulder flexed to 90degrees and is moved toward the body
Horizontal Adduction
Joint Movements caused by muscular initiation
Osteokinematics
Anterior surface moves inward toward the midline (internal rotation)
Medial Rotation
Anterior surface moves outward away from the midline (external rotation)
Lateral Rotation
Hand moves laterally or toward the thumb side in anatomical position
Radial Deviation
Hand moves medially from the anatomical position toward the little finger
Ulnar Deviation
movement at the shoulder, flexion to 90degrees and UE is parallel to the ground pushing forward/away from the midline
Protraction
movement at the shoulder, flexion to 90degrees and UE is pulling towards the midline or squeezing the shoulder blades together
Retraction
describes the trunk moving sideways, also known as lateral flexion
Lateral bending
involves all 4 major motions
- Flexion
- Abduction
- Extension
- Adduction
Circumduction
rotation of the forearm into anatomical position
