    Study Notes

    Biomechanics

    • Biomechanics is the study of the movement of living things using the science of mechanics.
    • It is concerned with the behavior of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements.

    Basic Terminology and Concepts

    • Forces and moments include statics and kinematics and kinetics.
    • Mechanics is the study of the behavior of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements.
    • Biomechanics is the study of mechanics limited to living structures, especially the human body.

    Applications of Biomechanics

    • Injury prevention and rehabilitation
    • Biomechanics of the knee joint following ACL surgery
    • Sport shoes and their role in motion control and shock absorption
    • Landing mechanics indicative of a female predisposition to ACL injury
    • Examination of the role of soft tissue motion on joint loading and injury
    • Heading and head injury in youth soccer

    Why Physiotherapists Learn Biomechanics

    • Sport and exercise
    • Gait and locomotion
    • Ergonomics
    • Prosthetics and orthotics
    • Rehabilitation
    • Motor control
    • Computer simulation

    Nine Fundamentals of Biomechanics

    • Force-motion principle: unbalanced forces are acting on our bodies or objects when we either create or modify movement.
    • Inertia: the property of all objects to resist changes in their state of motion.
    • Range of motion: the overall motion used in a movement and can be specified by linear or angular motion of the body segments.
    • Balance: a person's ability to control their body position relative to some base of support.

    Measuring Kinematic Quantities

    • Tools for measuring kinematic quantities include direct measurement techniques (goniometers, special joint angle measuring systems, accelerometers) and indirect measurement techniques (cinematography, television, optoelectric technique, magnetic system, electromagnetic system, acoustic systems).

    Kinematic Concepts for Analyzing Human Motion

    • Kinematics is the motion description in linear (meters, feet, etc.) or angular (radians, degrees, etc.) terms.
    • Levers are used to alter the resulting direction of the applied force.
    • Levers are classified into three types: first order, second order, and third order.
    • Levers in the human body include bones and joints.

    Positional and Directional Terminologies

    • Anatomical position: the description of any region or part of the body in a specific stance.
    • In the anatomical position, the body is upright, directly facing the observer, feet flat and directed forward, upper limbs are at the body's sides with the palms facing forward.
