Ch 1

Question 1

Kinesiology

Answer 1

the study of movement, relating anatomy, physiology, physics, and geometry.

Question 2

Biomechanics

Answer 2

Mechanical principles that related directly to the human body

Question 3

Kinetics

Answer 3

The forces causing movement

Question 4

Kinematics

Answer 4

The time, space, and mass aspects of a moving system

Question 5

Linear Motion (translatory motion)

Answer 5

occurs in more or less a straight line from one location to another

Question 6

Rectilinear motion

Answer 6

Movement in a straight line

Question 7

Angular Motion (rotary motion)

Answer 7

Movement of an object around a fixed point.

Question 8

Curvilinear Motion

Answer 8

Movement occurs in a curved path that isn’t necessarily circular.

Question 9

Osteokinematics

Answer 9

Movement of bones around a joint axis, humerus moving on scapula

Question 10

Arthrokinematics

Answer 10

Deals with the relationship of joint surface movement, humeral head’s movement within glenoid fossa of scapula.

Question 11

Flexion

Answer 11

bending movement of one bone on another, bringing two segments together and causing an increase of joint angle.

Question 12

Extension

Answer 12

Straightening movement of one bone away from another, causing an increase of the joint angle.

Question 13

Hyperextension

Answer 13

Continuation of extension beyond the anatomical position.
