KINES: Biomechanics and Kinematics Flashcards
is is the study of human movement
kinesiology
it deals with human movements
biomechanics
what are the two branches of mechanics
kinematics - description of human motion
kinetics - study of forces that affects movement
what are the two types of kinetics
statics - movement at rest
dynamics - movement at motion
how do we analyze human motion
quali - describe the movement
quanti - measurable variable that describes movement
what is osteokinematics
gross movements
movements between shafts of adjacent bones
give an example of quali/quanti of osteokinematics
measurement of ROM - quanti
raising shoulders forward - quali
what is arthrokinematics
minute movements inside the joint capsule
difficult to observe = palpate
what are the kinematic qualitative variables
type of displacement
location of displacement
direction of displacement
magnitude of displacement
rate of change of displacement - v
rate of change of velocity - a
types of displacement in kinematics
translatory - all points of objects are moving or travelling in same distance, direction and velocity
- moving of tibia against femur - ant/post
rotatory - occurs in a circle rotating around axis
- rotating the head
what is the general motion in osteokinematics
curvilinear - combi of translatory nd rotatory
moves along a curved path w some sort of linear
most common type
type of displacement in arthrokinematics
ICoR - instantaneous center of rotation
shifting of axis during curvilinear motion
bending of finger not point directly towards wrist but towards radial side
where is the cog
an inch anterior to S2
explain the relationship of joint structure and function
structure will determine its function nd vice versa
generalizations about joint composition
joint components adapt to environmental nd functional demands
nourishment via facilitated diffusion - occurs in movement
subject to injury, disease or aging - esp in cartilage
describe connective tissues
not packed - more spaces betw cells
relate CT to extracellular space
CT is found in extracellular matrix
what are the fibrillar components of CT
collagen - most abundant
- high tensile strength = high stretch
- type 1 in CT - resists too much tension
type 2 in cartilage nd IV
elastin - smaller portions
what is the interfibrillar components of CT
water
proteoglycans - allows water-binding via glycosaminoglycans
- form reservoir for nutrients nd GH
- regulates collagen fibril size
- for compressive forces
glycosaminoglycans - carbohydrate portion
- attracts water
- withstands compression
what is aggrecan
large cartilage PG
water binding capacity
ability to withstand compressive forces
where does the cellular components of CT come from
from mesenchymal precursor cells
what are fixed cellular components
fibrolast - chondroblast/tenoblast/osteoblast - fibrocytes/chondrocytes/osteocytes
what are transient cellular components
related to blood - blood cells
primary role - immune responses and against debris - phagocytosis
what are ligaments
bone to bone - stabilization of joint
secured through interdigitations of collagen - sharpeys fibers
how do sharpeys fiber secure ligaments
collagen fibers blend w periosteum that attaches to cortical bone
