Intro To Kinesiology Flashcards
Kinesiology is the
Science of movement
Pathokinesiology ?
Study of the anatomy and pathology of the abnormality in human movement
Kinematics
This is the examination of the human movements in space through examining the human body
Kinematic consist of
Point
Segment
Joint
Arthrokinematics
Movement of joints
Types of motion
Translational- same direction, speed and equal distance
Angular- or rotational motion i.e rotational movement around the angel
Spinning- around vertical exis spinning at the center of motion
In angular or rotational force .. movement is ?
Zero around the center where the axis of rotation passes through
Body movement is the addition of
Translational movement and angular movement
Gait cycle is?
CurvLinear movement of center of gravity
It has a displacement of 5cm up and 5cm down
Translational motion of synovial joint
There are 3 angular motion in 3 planes in 3 axis
At the glenohumeral joint
Head of humerus moves translationlly on gleniod cavity
Active and passive forces has to do with?
Muscles and external forces falling to joint
Examples of passive translational motion
Joint play movements in knee joint
Joint play movement in shoulder joint
Proximal is over distal in
Stance phase of gait cycle
Lower extremity
Distal is over proximal in
Swing phase of gait
Upper extremity motion
Lower extremity
Kinetic chain
Sequencing of joints following eachother
