Study Notes
Kinesiology
- Kinesiology is the science that examines the movements created by any force and the forces that cause the movements within the mechanical laws and compares them with pathological conditions.
Mechanics
- Mechanics is a branch of science that examines the forces acting on objects and the movements that these forces create on the object graphically and analytically.
- It is a branch of Physics and Engineering.
- It is concerned with forces, bodies, and motion.
- The laws of mechanics apply to bodies at rest or in motion.
Biomechanics
- Biomechanics is the use of the laws of mechanics for the study of human structure/movement.
Movement and Forces
- The purposeful movements of humans result from the interaction between muscle strength and external forces.
- Movement occurs in the body when the internal forces are greater than the external forces.
- Force (F) = mass (m) x acceleration (a)
- Force (F) = Weight (W) x acceleration (a)
- Force (F) = Weight (W) x (Vs - Vo) / time (t)
Newton's Laws
- Newton's Law shows the change in moments of bodies.
- Newton's Law III (action-reaction principle): When a force is applied to an object, a reaction force equal to but opposite to the force applied on that object arises.
Anatomical Position and Axes
- Anatomical position is the position of the body when standing upright with feet together and arms at the sides.
- Axes:
- Transvers axis: flexion and extension
- Vertical axis: internal and external rotation
- Sagittal axis: abduction and adduction
Planes
- Horizontal plane
- Median plane
- Sagittal plane
- Coronal (frontal) plane
Joints
- Joint Groups:
- Articulatio Fibrosa (synarthrosis): non-moveable joints
- Articulatio Cartilaginea (amphiarthrosis): semi-moveable joints
- Articulatio Synovialis (diarthrosis): moveable joints
- What should be present in a synovial joint:
- Articular cartilage
- Joint capsule
- Synovial fluid
- Ligaments
- Joint types:
- Roller type joint: transvers axis / flexion-extension
- Cylinder shaped joint: vertical axis / internal-external rotation
- Elliptical shaped joint: transvers axis and sagital axis / flexion-extension and abduction adduction
- Saddle shaped joint: transvers axis and sagital axis / flexion-extension and abduction adduction
- Sphere shaped joint: transvers, sagital, vertical and secondary axes / flexion-extension, abduction adduction, IR-ER, circumduction
Factors Preventing Joint Faces from Moving Away
- Negative air pressure in the joint space (Vacuum effect)
- Joint capsule and joint ligaments
- Muscles and tendons surrounding the joint
- Shape of joint faces
Muscles
- Tonus: muscle tone, the continuous and passive partial contraction of the muscles.
- Hypertonsity: abnormally increased muscle tone
- Hypotonsity: abnormally decreased muscle tone
- Spasticity: a state of increased muscle tone resulting in stiffness and spasm
- Muscle structure:
- Actin
- Myosin (which makes up 50% of the total protein amount)
- Tropomyosin
- Troponin
- Smooth muscles contain only myosin and actin.
