Kinesiology - Lecture 1 Flashcards
What is kinematics?
Study of movement without regard to forces
What is rotational movement? What are the other two names for it?
Circular movement around an axis, same direction and speed and number of degrees
angular movement/ OSTEOKINEMATICS
think: where did the bone move?
What is translational movement? What are two other names for it and an example?
Linear motion parallel, same direction and speed as every point on the object
Transitional / ARTHROKINEMATICS
think: what’s happening at joint surface?
Ex: slide, glide
Angular or translational movement?
Elbow while raising glass to mouth
Angular
Angular or translational movement?
Point on top of one’s head while walking forward
Translational
Angular or translational movement?
Hip while kicking a ball
Angular
Describe the fundamental position.
Anatomical position but palms face sides of body
How many planes of motion are there? Name them.
3, sagittal, transverse, frontal
SAGITTAL PLANE
what does it divide the body into?
axis of rotation?
example?
unequal right and left
Medial / lateral
Flex, ext, pf, df
Elbow, hip, shoulder, ankle
FRONTAL PLANE
what does it divide the body into?
axis of rotation?
example?
Front and back
Anterior and posterior
abd, add, RD, UD
Wrist
TRANSVERSE PLANE
what does it divide the body into?
axis of rotation?
example?
Upper and lower
Vertical
IR, ER
Hip, shoulder, spine
What is the max number of degrees of freedom?
3
How many DOF for the shoulder?
3
How many DOF for elbow?
1
Sagittal
How many DOF for wrist?
2
Sagittal and frontal
Describe normal muscle action.
Distal segment moves on a fixed proximal segment
Leg extension
Describe reverse muscle action.
Proximal segment moves on a fixed distal segment
Squat
Is kicking (hip) a normal or reverse muscle action?
Normal
Is stepping up on a curb (knee) a normal or reverse muscle action?
Reverse
Is throwing (shoulder) a normal or reverse muscle action?
Normal
Is a push up (elbow) a normal or reverse muscle action?
Reverse
What is a closed kinematic chain?
When the distal segment is FIXED in a movement
Squat, push up
What is an open kinematic chain?
Distal segment is NOT FIXED during movement
What can limit angular motion?
Shape of joint surface
Joint capsule
Ligaments
Muscle bulk
Musculotendinous structures
Bony structures
Pain
