What is the purpose of studying Kinesiology?
to understand the FORCES that act on the human body and to manipulate these forces in treatment procedures so that the human performance may be improved and injury prevented
What is Kinetics?
FORCES producing motion or maintaining equilibrium
What is Kinematics?
Science of motion of bodies in space. Including Movement of a single point on a body
What is a single point on a body also known as?
Center of gravity
What is an Open Kinematic Chain OKC?
the distal segment moving freely in space and the segments can move independently or not at all
What is a Closed Kinemetic Chain?
the distal segment is stationary while the proximal segment moves. The movement of one segment requires all segments to move.
Which is more functional, Closed Kinematic Chain or Open Kinematic Chain?
Closed Kinematic Chain
What does Static mean?
refers to the bodies at rest or in uniform motion
WHat does Dynamic mean?
refers to the bodies that are accelerating or decelerating
What is a FORCE?
a VECTOR quantity that may cause a change in movement or direction
What is the force formula?
F= m x a
What is a lever?
simple machine consisting of a fixed beam or bar which rotates around a fulcrum
What is the 1st class lever?
If the forces are on different sides of the COR
What is the 2nd class lever?
If the forces are on the same side of the COR and the external force is closer to the COR than the msucle force
What is the 3rd class lever?
If the forces are on the same side of the COR and the muscle force is closer to the COR than the external force
What is Torque?
describes the ability of a force to create rotation around a fulcrum
What is the Torque formula?
t= F x MA
What is a Moment?
Similar to torque, describes the ability of a force to create rotation dependent on length and position of MA
What is the basic formula for Moment (M)?
M- r x F
r- distance of action
F- Force
What is Moment representing?
a Vector that passes through the point of interest
What is the Moment perpendicular to?
both the force and distance of vectors
How do you calculate magnitude of the torque?
Torque is another term that is synonymous with scalar moment. Therefore the magnitude of a moment/torque is t= r x F x sinΘ
Although there are several different distances that can be used to connect a vector and a point how is calculation of moment calculated?
The same moment is calculated no matter which distance is selected.
What are the two types of Displacements?
Translatory motion
Rotary motion
What are the three Cartesian Coordinates? and it’s corresponding motions?
X-axis/coronal axis (flexion/extension)
Y-axis/vertical axis (IR/ER)
Z-axis/A-P axis (abduction/adduction)
What are the exception to the Cartesian Coordinates rule?
- Hand and Foot= 3rd and 2nd segments. Abd/Add is defined as away from or towards the midline
- Thumb= Ex/Flex occurs in the frontal plane, Abd/Add occurs in the sagittal plane
- Wrist= Radial deviation= abduction, Ulnar deviation= adduction
- Ankle= Dorsiflexion/Plantarflexion
Sagital plane contains movement around what axis?
x-axis
Transverse plane contains movement around what axis?
y-axis
Coronal plane contains movement around what axis?
z-axis
What is End Feel?
resistance felt when joint is moved passively to the end of its range of motion
When end feel, has a motion stopped by contact how is that described?
Hard/Bony
When end feel, has a motion limited by ligamentous structures how is that described?
Firm/Springy
When end feel, has motion limited by soft tissue how is that described?
Soft
When feeling for end feel, prior to the end-range, there is a feel not characteristic of that joint, how is that described?
Pathological
When end feel, pain limits motion or absence of resistance is described as what?
Empty
All joints (articulations) are comprised of what?
connective tissue
Connective tissue is essentially cells suspended in what?
extracellular matrix
What type of cells are they composed of?
Cartilage
Ligaments/tendons
Bone
Cartilage= chondroctyes Ligaments/Tendons= Fibroctyes Bone= Osteocytes
What are the two component of connective tissue’s Extracellular matrix?
Interfibrillar components
Fibrillar components
What is Interfibrillar components’ Ground substances?
Water and Proteoglycans (PG)
What does PG stand for in Interfibrillar components’s ground substances?
proteoglycans
What is proteoglycans (PG)?
hydrophilic, increasing structural integrity of tissues
What are the two Fibrillar components?
Collagen and Elastin
What is Collagen?
most abundant protein in the human body, provides structural integrity and resists tensile/compressive forces
What is Elastin?
Allows fibers to deform under applied force and return to original state when force is removed
What does Ligament connect?
bone to bone
Where on the bones does ligament connect to?
blends into periosteum and attaches to cortical bone
How does ligament attach to cortical bone?
via Sharpey’s fibers
What does the direction of ligament’s fibers dictate?
dictates the resistance to tensile foreces
What does Ligament contain more, collagen or elastin?
contains more collagen than elastin
What does Tendon connect?
Muscle to bone
What part of the muscle and bone does tendons connect?
Collagen fibers of the bone and actin filament of the muscle
How is tendons organized?
organized into fascicles
What do tendon fascicles contain?
collagen, vessels, nerves
In the tendon’s fascicles there are collagen, vessels, and nerves. What are they surrounded by?
Endotendon
What are groups of endotendon surrounded by? and it’s function
