What forces are needed for rotation?
Internal forces like torque
q-angle and it values
measured from hip to patella tendon
values: men 14, women 17
limb proportions affect motions
-those with wider hips typically have an increased chance of knee injuries
3 ways POSSUM observations help a novice observer
observation
core concepts
evaluating
Open Kinetic Chain example
dumbell curl
Closed Kinetic Chain example
squat
Kinematic Characteristics
displacement, acceleration, and velocity
Kinetic Characteristics
friction, pressure, gravity
Kinetic Perspective
forces involved
- How much force was absorbed by the body when making the change in direction?
- What force makes the change in direction possible?
- How much force is needed to tear an ACL?
Kinematic Perspective
How fast was the player moving when the injury occurred?
How far did the player travel at this speed before the injury?
How much did the player accelerate/decelerate in order to change direction?
Coefficient of restitution (e) example
i.e. a golf ball will have a higher CoR than a rock when dropped from any height (0.00= plastic, 1.00= elastic)
