Chapter 3 - Disciplines Of Functional Biomechanics Flashcards
(185 cards)
Kinesiology
The study of human movement
Biomechanics
The study of how forced affects the living body
What is ground reaction force?
An equal and opposite external force that is exerted back on to the body by the ground
What does qualitative analysis involve?
Qualitative analysis involves applying principles of proper technique and combining them with observation in order to make an educated evaluation.
How does quantitative analysis contrast qualitative analysis?
Quantitative analysis involves taking physical measurements and making mathematical computations to reach a conclusion this can be seen in certain assessments, such as body composition testing.
What is anatomic position?
Anatomic position is the standard posture in which the arms of the side the trunk in the palms facing forward.
Anterior
Toward the front
Posterior
Toward the back
Superior
Closest to the head,
(above landmark)
Proximal
Located closest to the center of the body or landmark
Distal
Located farthest from the center of the body or landmark
Medial
Located toward the midline of the body
Midline
That which is contained within an imaginary line that supports the body into equal halves
Lateral
When located farthest from the midline
Contralateral
Opposite side of the body
Ipsilateral
Body part located on the same side of the body,
(left arm and left leg).
Sagittal plane
An imaginary plane there by six the body into two equal halves producing a left and right half.
Frontal plane
an imaginary play that by six the body to Eagle has producing a front and a back half.
Transverse plane
And imaginary plane that bisects the body into two equal halves, producing a top and a bottom half.
Where does sagittal plane rotation happen?
Around a medial-lateral axis
What is the medial – lateral axis?
An imaginary straight line that cuts through the body laterally from side to side.
What is the Anterior – posterior axis?
A straight line crossing of the body from front to back
pin that is crossing the shoulder joint from front to back
What is the longitudinal axis?
An imaginary long straight line the cuts that body from top to bottom
What type of joint movements happen along sagittal plane and medial lateral axis?
- Flexion
- extension
- Hyperextension
- Dorsiflexion
- Plantar flexion
- bicep curl
- Squat
- calf raise
- Running
