Kin Ch1 Flashcards
what is kinematics?
the things that let us describe the displacement or motion of a segment without thinking about all the force
define displacement
change in position over time
list 5 kinematic variables that describe displacement
type location direction magnitude rate
what are the three types of types of displacement
translatory , rotary , and general types of displacement
displacement type : translatory is
linear displacement - rare - more for joint mobs
displacement type : rotary is
angular displacement - rotate about fixed axis - LAQ
displacement type : general is
combos (curvilinear motion ) center of rotation changes - ICOR instantaneous center or rotation or IaR (instantaneous axis of rotation ) - 3d movement
displacement location and direction
sagittal plane - x axis or coronal axis, transverse plane - y axis or vertical axis or longitudinal axis, frontal plane - z axis or AP axis
What are cardinal planes
Transverse, frontal, sagittal
Displacement Magnitude of rotary motion is
angular displacement
Displacement magnitude of linear motion is
translatory motion
How does one measure angular displacement / rotary motion
Range of motion through 360 degrees
how does one measure linear displacement / translatory motion
SI : M m cm
metric system : foot or inch
1 inch = cm
1 inch = 2.54 cm
an example of linear displacement test in PT
6 min walk test
displacement rate: without a unit of time is
speed
displacement rate: with a unit of time is
velocity
displacement rate: the rate of velocity changing is
acceleration
linear velocity ( velocity of a translating segment ) is
m / sec or ft / sec
units for acceleration are
m / sec squared or ft / sec squared
units for angular velocity is
deg / sec
units for angular acc is
deg / sec squared
Force
a push or pull exerted by one object or substance on another
Force is measured in
N and lbs
Gravity is
the attraction of earth mass to another mass
weight =
mass x gravity
1 kg = __ lb
1 kg = 2.2. lb
1 kg = __ N
1 kg = 9.8 N
