Kinesiology Week 1 (complete) Flashcards
What is the goal of remediation?
also known as restoration
goal is to restore or remediate client factors that are impaired
What are examples of remediation?
ROM, strength, balance, pain level, muscle tone
What is the goal of compensation?
goal is to revise current environment or activity demands to support performance
What are some examples of compensation?
increasing accessibility, adapting clothing, providing alternative strategies to make task easier
What are the two types of activity analysis?
- activity analysis that looks at the demands of the activity (assessment of an activity only)
- occupational-based activity analysis (takes into account the persons interests, goals, abilities, contexts and the demands of the activity)
what is the definition of occupation?
gives our lives meaning
encourages greater and longer engagement than an isolated repetitive task
Is occupation an end or a means?
both! it can be an end or a means
What is the definition of kinesiology?
the study of motion and the internal and external forces involved in motion
What is the definition of biomechanics?
describes the application of kinematics and kinetics to the mechanisms of human motion
What is the definition of kinematics
motion of the body without regard to force (such as gravity)
includes planes, axes, and types of motion
What is the definition of osteokinematics?
movement of the skeletal system, the motion of bones relative to the planes of the body
What is the definition of motion?
a change in position of an object with the passage of time
What is the definition of linear motion?
all parts of the body move parallel to and in the same direction as every other part of the body
What is the name of linear motion in a straight line?
rectilinear
What is the name of linear motion in a curved line?
curvilinear
What is transitory motion?
motion in which all points of a moving body move uniformly in the same direction
Where is the center of mass for the human body?
anterior to the sacrum
What is the definition of rotation?
a rigid body moves in a circular path around a pivot point
What is the definition of range of motion?
degrees around an axis of rotation
What is active range of motion?
movement done by person
What is passive range of motion?
movement done by someone else
What is active assistant range of motion?
person does it with some help
Where does movement occur in the human body?
at the joints
What is the definition of degrees of freedom?
where joint movement occurs
Where do the 3 degrees of freedom take place?
- elbow/knee
- wrist/ankle
- shoulder/hip
What is the definition of arthokinematics?
the relationship of joint surface motion
What is a concave joint surface?
the surface that “caves” in
What is a convex joint surface?
the surface that is rounded
When a concave surface moves on a stationary convex surface the roll and slide occur…
a. in the same direction
b. in opposite directions
A. in the same direction
When a convex surface moves on a concave surface, the roll and slide occur…
a. in the same direction
b. in opposite directions
B. in opposite directions
When one joint surface rolls along another surface it is called…
a. roll
b. glide
c. spin
a. roll
When one joint surface slides across the surface of another it is called…
a. roll
b. glide
c. spin
B. glide
When one joint surface rotates over the fixed surface of another it is called…
a. roll
b. glide
c. spin
C. spin
What joint is an example of “roll” joint motion?
Roll at shoulder
