Cards

Term
Kinesiology
Definition
The study of human movement
Term
Biomechanics
Definition
The study of the mechanics of a living organism; the use of physics principles: gravity, force, force applied, time
Term
Flexion
Definition
to bend; increase toward 180°
Term
Extension
Definition
To straighten; decrease joing angle
Term
Hyperextension
Definition
Extension beyond the anatomical position
Term
Dorsiflexion
Definition
occurs at ankle, top of the foot toward lower leg
Term
Plantar Flexion
Definition
Planting ball of foot downward
Term
Lateral Flexion
Definition
Bending at the trunk to your left or right
Term
Horizontal Abduction/Adduction
Definition
moves parallel to the transverse/horizontal plane
Term
Circumduction
Definition
Circular Patterns; flexion-abduction-extension-adduction
Term
Medial/Lateral Rotation
Definition
Rotating toward and away from the midline (also known as internal and external rotation)
Term
Saggital Plane
Definition
Divides body into equal left and right parts; forward and backward movements of the body and body segments occur
Term
Frontal
Definition
Splits body into front and back parts; lateral movements occur in this plane. (abduction/adduction)
Term
Horizontal/Transverse Plane
Definition
Divides the body into top and bottom halves; horizontal body movements occur parallel to this plane
Term
Axis of Rotation
Definition
Imaginary axis in the body that passes through the joint to which it is attached (think of the pin that passes through the joint on a G.I. Joe)
Term
Frontal Axis
Definition
imaginary line around which saggital plane rotation occurs
Term
Saggital Axis
Definition
imaginary line around which frontal plane movements occur
Term
Longitudinal Axis
Definition
Imaginary line around which horizontal/transverse plane rotation occurs
Term
Types of Machines found in the body
Definition

Levers, Wheel/Axel, Pulley

 

Term
Most Common Machine in the Body
Definition
Levers
Term
Lever Arms
Definition
Simple machines used to amplify force or distance
Term
How are lever arms used in the body?
Definition
the bones are used like levers, the muscular attachments provide various forces, like effort and resistance, the levers pivot on a fulcrum
Term
Lever Arm
Definition
Long stick or bar
Term
Fulcrum
Definition
Axis of rotation
Term
Resistance
Definition
a force that is being moved (weight, rock, kicking a ball)
Term
Effort
Definition
Muscular force that is being used on a lever to produce movement against the resistance
Term
First Class Levers
Definition
one axis of rotation in the center of the effort and the resistance.  (Head, resistance is in the front because it weighs more.)  Can be used to amplify speed, balance, force motion when axis is close to resistance.
Term
Second Class Levers
Definition
Axis is at one end of the lever; resistance is in the middle and the force (muscle) is holding it up at the other end. (Ball of foot is axis, calf is force, and body is resistance) Plantar Flexion
Term
Third Class Levers
Definition

Axis of rotation, resistance acting in one direction and effort acting in the other. (bicep curl, weight is the resistance, elbow is axis, muscle is the force pulling the resistance.)  Most common in the body.

Term
Torque
Definition

 

Movement of force; the turning effect of an eccentric force

 

Term
Eccentric Force
Definition
Force applied in a direction, not in line with axis of rotation.  (kicking a ball, force is not in line with resistance)
Term
Calculation of Torque
Definition

Convert Pounds to Kilograms (lbs/2.2)

multiplied by gravity

(9.8m/s2)=newtons

 

Term
Torque Calculations
Definition

D*F=Nmeters

D=torque arm from fulcrom to the end (meters)

F=Force Applied (newtons)

Term
Gravity Equation
Definition
9.8m/s2
Term
Pounds to Kilograms
Definition
lbs/2.2=kg
Term
Wheels & Axels
Definition
Enhance Range of motion and speed; both correspond to the radius
Term
Wheel and Axel Mechanical Advantage
Definition

radius of wheel(5")/radius of axel(1")

5:1 Mechanical Advantage

Term
Wheel and Axel in Body
Definition

Throwing a Ball

Humerus is the Axel-Hand and Wrist are outside of the wheel-elbow bent at 90º, this makes speed increase

Term
Pulley Systems
Definition

change effective direction of force application

1 Pulley=MA of 1

Can be combined to include MA, each additional adds 1 MA

Term
Pulley in the Body
Definition
Lateral Malleolus acts as a pulley as the tendon of the poroneus longus runs around the outside
Term
Force Vector
Definition
Throwing or kicking a ball, a force is applied, it changes its state of motion
Term
Stress Strain Curve
Definition
When the amount of strain on tissue becomes too great and causes damage
Term
Elastic Component
Definition
tissues ability to stretch and are pliable
Term
Stress Strain
Definition
internal force (per unit area) upon a cross section when part of the body is on one side of a plane, which exerts on a part of the body on the other side of the plane.
Term
Bone
Definition
a non-homogeneous, anisotropic, composite structure that behaves viscoelastically; Connective tissue
Term
Osteon
Definition
Bone Cell
Term
Lamella
Definition
Concentric layers of compact bone that form the tube like structure
Term
Lacunae
Definition
cavities within the lamella
Term
osteocyte
Definition
bone cell found in lacunae
Term
Canaliculi
Definition
small channels radiating from each lacunae
Term
Structural Organization of Bone
Definition
Very porous-sponge like;
Term
Cortical
Definition
Compact, found in the shafts of long bones
Term
Trabecular
Definition
less compact, found at ends of long bones and in vertebrae, spongy and can withstand more strain
Term
Axial Skeleton
Definition
Skull, Vertebrae/Sacrum, Ribs/Sternum
Term
Osteoblasts
Definition
builds new bone
Term
Osteoclasts
Definition
reabsorb bone tissue
Term
Longitudal Growth
Definition
cartilage discs found on the ends of bones
Term
Wolff's Law
Definition
As muscles grow larger, the bone will grow larger
Term
Immovable Joints
Definition
Synarthrosis, plates of the skull, radius and ulna, tib and fib
Term
Slightly Moveable Joints
Definition
Amphiarthroses, Joint in Shoulder
Term
Slightly moveable joint
Definition
diarthroses, hinge or ball and socket
Term
Synovial Joints
Definition
Gliding or Hinge
Term
Articular Cartilage
Definition
Hyaline; protective layer of dense, white connective tissue, found in dyarthrodical joints on ends of bones, protects, self lubricating
Term
Ligaments
Definition
connect bone to bone
Term
Fascia
Definition
surrounds muscles, bones, nerves, and blood vessels, creates a fascial web, IT Band
Term
PNF Stretching
Definition

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation

alternating contracting and relaxing, 5-10 seconds

Term
Agonist
Definition
muscle acting to cause movement
Term
Antagonist
