Question | Answer |
What is Human Kinesiology? | The study of movementas it pertains to the human body. |
Movement as it applies to a living organism is called... | Biomechanics. |
What is the study of the human structure called? | Human Anatomy. |
What is the study of the function of the human body called? | Human Physiology. |
What is a linear or sliding movement called? | Translational movement. |
What is a movement about a pivot point or axis in a circular motion called? | Rotational (angular) movement. |
What is an active movement? | Movement created by activated movements. I.E. client moves own body. |
What is a passive movement? | Movement produced by external sources. I.E. Therapist moves cleint, gravity, or external pressure. |
What is a muscular contraction in which the muscle fibers lengthen? | Eccentric Contraction |
What is a muscular contraction in which the muscle fibers lengthen? | Concentric Contraction. |
Name the types of Isotonic contractions. | Eccentric and Concentric contractions. |
What is a muscular contraction in which the muscle fibers don't change length at all? | Isometric Contraction. |
What are the three cardinal planes? | Saggital, Frontal, and Horizontal. |
In which plane do flexion/extension and plantarflexion/dorsiflexion occur? | Saggital Plane. |
In which plane do lateral flexion, adduction/abduction, and inversion/eversion occur? | Frontal Plane. |
In which plane do rotations, supination and pronation occur? | Horizontal Plane. |
What is an imaginary point around which rotation occurs? | Axis of Rotation. |
Which axis runs vertically around which rotations occur? | Longitudinal Axis. |
Which axis runs front to back around which abductiona dn adduction occur? | Anteroposterior Axis. |
Which axis runs right to left or side to side around which flexion and extension occur? | Mediolateral Axis. |
One Degree of Freedom... | Movement along a single plane of space. (ex. elbow joint) |
Two Degrees of Freedom... | Movement along two planes of space. (ex. wrist joint) |
Three Degrees of Freedom... | Movement along three planes of space. (ex. shoulder joint) |
Which are movements in which the distal segment rotates against a fixed proximal segment? | Distal-on-proximal movements. (Kicking a soccer ball where the crus is distal and the thigh is proximal.) |
Which are movements in which the proximal segment rotates against a fixed distal segment? | Proximal-on-distal movements. (Squatting down where the crus is distal and the thigh is proximal.) |
The three fundamental movements of the ball and socket are... | Roll, Slide, and Spin. |
A push or pull that can facilitate or restrict movement is... | Force. |
Tension is... | pulling force. |
Compression is... | pushing force. |
Bending is... | a combination of tension and compression. |
Shear force is... | forces acting in parallel but opposite directions. |
Torsion is... | twisting force. |
Forces generated within the body are... | Internal Forces. |
Forces originating outside of the body are... | External Forces. |
The pivot point around which the lever arm rotates, and most commonly within the body is a joint. | Fulcrum. |
Force applied to the lever system, and most commonly within the body is a muscle. | In Force. |
The force returned from the lever system. | Out force. |
A lever where the in force and out force are on opposite sides of the fulcrum. | Class 1 Lever. |
A lever where the in force and out force are unilateral on a fulcrum, where the the in force is further from the fulcrum. | Class 2 Lever. |
