kinesiology Flashcards
movements between joint surfaces: roll - spin- glide or slide
-Rotation of a single point of one joint surface on the adjacent joint surface
arthrokinematic motions
movements of limbs through space about a joint - flexion/extension -abduction/adduction -medial rotation/lateral rotation
osteokinematic motions
erect posture, weight evenly distibuted, eyes facing forward, feet parallel and slightly apart. The zero point.
anatomical position
distal segment is fixed, proximal segment is free to move
closed kinetic chain
distal segment is free to move, proximal segment fixed
open kinetic chain
Sagittal plane passes through body
- divides body into right and left
sagittal plane
Frontal plane passes through body
-vertically side to side divides
frontal plane
Horizontal plane passes through body
-horizontally divides body into superior and inferior
transverse
axis that passes through joint anterior to posterior
sagittal axis
axis that passes through joint side to side
frontal
axis that passes through joint superior to inferior
vertical
in which plane and axis does flexion/ extension occur?
saggital plane - frontal axis
in which plane and axis does abduction/ adduction occur?
frontal plane - sagittal axis
in which plane and axis does medial rotation/ lateral rotation
horizontal plane - vertical axis
unbixial
motion in one plane about one axis. one degree of freedom
biaxial
motion in two planes about two axes. two degrees of freedom.
ex: shoulder and hip joints have 3 degrees of freedom.
elbow, uniaxial joint has one degree of freedom
the amount of motion a joint can move in any of its possible directions
range of motion
has magnitude and direction
(force, velocity, acceleration)
vector
the amount of push or pull applied to objects
- push creates compression, pull creates traction
- internal forces include muscle contractions, ligamentous restraint.
force
the mutual attraction btwn the earth and an object
gravity
the force btwn two surfaces that increased resistance to motion of one surface across another
-increased by compression, decreased by traction
friction
two or more forces acting along the same line
linear forces
occur in the same plane and in the same or opposite direction
parallel forces
specific configuration of parallel forces, two or more forces acting in different directions, produces clockwise rotation
fource couple
two or more forces acting on an object, resultant force vector.
concurrent forces
joint surfaces pull apart
traction
joint surfaces push closer together
compression
gliding motion of joint surfaces parallel to one another
shear
force is not applied at the central axis of an object, causing the object to bend.
bending
tendency of a force to produce rotation about an axis. The amount of torque generated is dependent apon; force applied, distance from axis that the force is applied, etc.
torque
FIRST LAW. law in which an object stays at rest or in motion at a constant state unless acted upon an external force.
law of inertia
SECOND LAW. law in which the acceleration of an object is inversely related to the mass of the object and directly proportionate to the amount of force.
law of acceleration
THRID LAW. law that states that for every action there is and equal and opposite reaction.
law of action- reaction
the point which the the sum of the mass of all body segment is located.
Center of Mass (COM)
point at which gravity acts on the center of mass.
Center of Gravity (GOG)
areas encompassed by the body’s contact with the supporting surface.
Base of support
