Motion analysis and biomechanical principles Flashcards
What do PTs do
Promote, restore, and enhance function
How can a PT assess function (3 part one)
- Assessment of movement
- Assessment of movement components
- Assessment of motion segment
How can a PT assess function (2 part one)
- Assessment of task
2. Factors: Environment, Societal, Psychological, and Emotional
What is assessment of movement
What joint is affected
What is motion segment
Arthrokinematics
What does arthrokinematics mean
Within the joint
How does a PT assess movement
Either dynamic or static assessment then kinetic or kinematic analysis
What is dynamic assessment
Task in it’s entirety
What is static assessment
Break task into phases
What in kinematic analysis
Describing motion (qualitative)
What is kinetic analysis
Deals with forces (quantitative)
During rotary or angular motion what happens
Each point on the object moves thru the same angle at the same time at a different constant distance
During translatory or linear motion what happens
Each point moves thru the same distance at the same time in parallel paths
What does concomitant mean
Occurring together and at the same time
True or False:
Gliding motion always occurs
True
What are the 3 cardinal directions
Frontal/Coronal, Sagittal/Medial, and Transverse/Axial/Horizontal
What axis does the sagittal plane correspond with
Mediolateral axis
What axis does the frontal plane correspond with
Anterior posterior axis
What axis does the transverse plane correspond with
Longitudinal/Vertical axis
What motion occurs in the sagittal plane
Flexion/Extension
What motion occurs in the frontal plane
Abduction/Adduction Lateral flexion/Sidebending (L or R spine)
What motion occurs in the transverse plane
External/Lateral rotation, Internal/Medial rotation, and Rotation (L or R spine)
What is magnitude measured in
Degrees or radians
What does degrees per second equal
Angular speed or rate
What does velocity equal
d/t
Velocity has what
Magnitude and direction
What is velocity without direction
Speed
What is translatory motion quantified by
linear distance
What does kinetics tell us
Why motion is occurring
What is kinetics the study of
Forces
What is an external force
Gravity, perturbation, friction, or wind
What is perturbation
Movement caused by an outside force
What are internal forces
Muscle force
What is the action line/line of action
Fiber orientation of muscle
1lb equals how many newtons
4.448N
What is the force of gravity
32 ft/s2
Weight equals what
MA
What is COG
Center of gravity
