Unit 4

Question 1

what are the 3 models of the Human movement system?

Answer 1

1. kinesiologic model
2. pathokinesiologic model
3. kinesiopathologic model

Question 2

normal, optimal function includes?

Answer 2

the base (muscular and skeletal systems

modular systems (nervous systems)

support (cardiac, pulmonary, endocrine/ metabolic, integumentary systems)

biomechanical (statics and dynamics)

Question 3

what is the key principle of the kinesiologic model?

Answer 3

optimal functioning and interaction of body systems is needed to maintain good musculoskeletal health and allow proper movement

Question 4

What are the 4 components within the base (muscular and skeletal systems)

Answer 4

muscle strength/ performance

muscle length

joint integrity/ mobility

bony structural variations

Question 5

what are the 4 components within the modulator (nervous system)

Answer 5

recruitment, timing, order, the magnitude of motor unit activation

sensation and perception

cognition

Question 6

what is the component of the nervous system within the biomechanics movement system

Answer 6

neural mobility/ neurodynamics

Question 7

what are the 2 components within the biomechanics movement system

Answer 7

1. statics
2. dynamics

Question 8

pathokinesiologic model

Answer 8

abnormal movement caused by underlying pathologic condition

ex: car accident causing a spinal cord injury

ex: contact ACL tear

Question 9

kinesiopathological model

Answer 9

imprecise, abnormal or excessive movement can cause specific anatomical or physiological conditions

Question 10

empirical basis

Answer 10

the notion that repetitive movements and sustained postures can positively or negatively influence bodily tissues

ex: poor posture negatively affecting body tissues
