Document Summary

Kinematics: movement of the body without taking into consideration other forces that produce movement, can describe 2 types of movement: translation and rotation. Translation: all parts of the body move in a parallel fashion in the same direction, does(cid:374)"t ha(cid:448)e to (cid:373)o(cid:448)e i(cid:374) a straight li(cid:374)e, (cid:271)ut has to go i(cid:374) the sa(cid:373)e dire(cid:272)tio(cid:374) (cid:894)ie poi(cid:374)t o(cid:374) the head while walking) Rotation: movements that occur on a rotational axis, the movement follows the same direction. Anatomical position: frontal= posterior and anterior, transverse/horizontal= superior and inferior, saggital= medial and lateral. Saggital: flexion and extension; dorsal (dorsiflexion) and plantar flexion. Frontal: abduction and adduction; lateral flexion; ulnar and radial deviation; inversion and eversion. Horizontal: internal (medial) and external (lateral) rotation; axial rotation. Rotational axes: flexion and extension: around the transverse/horizontal axis, abduction and adduction: around the sagittal axis. Internal and external rotation: around the vertical axis.
