Kinesiology
The study of human movement
Anatomy
The science of the shape and structure of the human body and its parts
Physiology
The biologic study of living organisms
Biomechanics
A discipline that uses principles of physics to quantitatively study how forces interact within a living body
Kinematics
motion of the body; without regard to the forces or torques that may produce the motion
Translation
parts of an object move parallel to and in the same direction as another part of the body
Rotation
when a assumed rigid body moves in a circular path about a pivot point
translation, rotation
2 types of movement
anterior to sacrum
center of mass located:
active movement
caused by stimulated muscle contraction
passive movement
movement caused by sources other than muscle contraction
open kinematic chain
distal segment of a limb is not fixed
closed kinematic chain
distal segment of a limb is fixed and grounded
Arthrokinematics
describes the motion that occurs between articular surfaces of joints
Roll
Multiple points along one rotating articular surface contact multiple points on another articular surface
Slide
A single point on one articular surface contacts multiple points on another articular surface
Spin
A single point on one articular surface rotates on a single point on another articular surface
tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion, combined
common loads applied to the body (6)
synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, diarthrosis
types of joints
synarthrosis (fibrous joint)
Junction between bones held together by dense irregular connective tissue….little or no movement…disperses forces
amphiarthrosis (cartilagenous joint)
Junction between bones formed primarily by fibrocartilage and/or hyaline cartilage…restrained movements…transmit/disperse forces
diarthrosis (synovial joint)
majority of UE/LE joints…specialized for movt
synarthrosis joints
sutures of the skull, teeth, distal tibiofibular joint, interosseous membranes of arm/leg
cartilagenous joints
intervertebral discs, xiphosternal joint, manubriosternal joint, pubic symphisis
