class throughout & quizzes Lab Lecture 1 every Quinta Introduction to Kinesiology Multidisciplinary  Biomechanics  Kinesiology  Occupational Therapy Multidisciplinary  Kinesiology  Science of the study of movement and the active and passive structures involved.  Used to assess human movement, performance, and function  Looks at the relationship between human movement and overall health Multidisciplinary  Kinesiology  Involves biomechanics, musculoskeletal anatomy, and neuromuscular physiology.  Ex. Limited range of motion in shoulder flexion and adduction.  Ex. Limited head control due to CP Multidisciplinary  Biomechanics  Subdiscipline of kinesiology  Science of the action of forces, internal or external, on the living body and the effect produced by these forces  Study of the biological system from a mechanical perspective  Ex of internal force: power generated by the muscles  Ex of external force: gravity, friction, speed, acceleration Multidisciplinary degree of freedom is the amount a joint can help me rotate : shoulder has me abt of freedom  Biomechanics 3 gives e elber has I limited morement (only and dom -  Two subdivisions us 1. Kinematics - is the description of motion, including the pattern and speed of movement sequencing by the body segment - Ex. Time taken to carry out an activity 2. Kinetics - is the study of forces associated with motion - Ex. Mass, pressure Multidisciplinary  Occupational Therapy  Is the use of purposeful activities to maximize functional performance  Our movement within the context of activity  Use kinesiology due to limitations in movements  Use in assessment and treatment with movement-related difficulties  Kinesiology is the understanding of movement, whereas  Occupational therapy is the use of movement in natural life environment  Multidisciplinary  Biomechanical Model  Concerns with the capacity of the musculoskeletal to perform motions or movements  Including limitations in  moving freely,  with adequate strength,  and in a continuous manner  Three components  Joint range of motion/movement  Strength  Endurance Multidisciplinary  Biomechanical Model provides practitioners with 1. A method to identify Musculoskeletal problem 2. Exercise to restore and/or maintain function 3. Designing adaptive equipment 4. Measuring functional progress Multidisciplinary  Problems with the Model (Critique of the model)  Does NOT consider the environment or real-life activities  Does NOT consider the person's cognitive, emotional, and social aspects.  “Improved musculoskeletal function isolated from occupational therapy contexts of self-care, work, and play has NO PLACE in OT practice”  Use kinesiology for problem-solving, but it MUST be relevant to the individual’s everyday life or activities.
