Document Summary
Mobility (the ability to perform daily movements) (older adults, infants, stroke victims) Work-related injury (occupational biomechanics) (back injuries, carpal tunnel, pro sport players) Sports performance (astroturf vs. grass, ideal start position for sprint: definition of kinematics and kinetics. Kinematics is the study of movement disregarding force to move it and kinetics is the study of the force that caused movement: terminology common to the field of biomechanics. Transverse: superior and inferior: research tools commonly used by biomechanics. Motion capture: the use of 6-10 high temporal and spatial infrared cameras to produce a 3d view out of 2d images. High temporal (1000hz) and high spatial (high quality). Emg: electromyography looks at the amplitude of the contraction when muscles are turned on. Force plates: measures the kinetics (force) that causes motion. We can see things that they eye cannot pick up quickly enough. Time series data is anything expressed with time as the x axis.
