Quiz 1 Flashcards
Linear Motion
object moves from point A to point B
Rectilinear Motion
all components of an object move in a straight line
- same distance, speed and direction
curvilinear motion
curved path
Angular motion
object on radius rotates around a fixed axis of rotation
- not moving at same speed and time
General Motion
combination of linear and angular motion
Linear Kinematics
variables used to describe how an object moves, from point A to point B
either in a straight line or along a curved path
Angular kinematics
those variables used to describe rotation
Angular Kinetics
rotational forces
Linear Kinetics
forces that cause an object to move from point A to point B, either in a straight line or along a curved path
saggital plane
mediolateral
- flexion extension hyper flexion hyperextension
frontal plane
ante posterior
- abduction adduction
transverse
longitudinal
- rotation
