Study Notes
Introduction to Kinesiology
- Kinesiology is the study of movement and the structures involved.
- It assesses human movement, performance, and function.
- It looks at the relationship between movement and health.
Multidisciplinary
- Kinesiology is a multidisciplinary field, drawing on biomechanics, musculoskeletal anatomy, and neuromuscular physiology.
- Biomechanics is the study of the action of forces on the living body.
- Biomechanics focuses on the mechanical perspective of the biological system.
- Occupational therapy uses purposeful activities to maximize functional performance.
Biomechanics
- Biomechanics is a subdiscipline of kinesiology.
- It examines internal forces like muscle power and external forces like gravity, friction, speed, and acceleration.
- Biomechanics has two subdivisions: Kinematics and Kinetics.
- Kinematics describes motion, including the pattern and speed of movement sequencing by the body segment.
- Kinetics studies the forces associated with motion, including factors like mass and pressure.
Occupational Therapy
- Occupational therapy uses kinesiology to assess and treat movement-related difficulties.
- It utilizes purposeful activities to enhance overall function and focuses on movement within the context of daily activities.
Biomechanical Model
- This model examines the musculoskeletal's ability to perform motions or movements.
- It assesses limitations in moving freely, with adequate strength, and in a continuous manner.
- The biomechanical model focuses on three components: joint range of motion, strength, and endurance.
Applications of the Biomechanical Model
- Identifying musculoskeletal problems.
- Restoring and maintaining function using exercise.
- Designing adaptive equipment.
- Measuring functional progress.
Limitations of the Biomechanical Model
- It does not consider the environment or real-life activities.
- It does not consider the individual's cognitive, emotional, and social aspects.
- It does not consider the interconnectedness of movement and daily activities.
- Kinesiology should be applied in a functional and holistic way, relevant to the individual's everyday life and activities.
