Document Summary
Paradigms for studying motion of the system. Qualitative motion analysis: describes how the body looks as it performs skills. Includes: position in space, position of body segments relative to each other: 2 general approaches to qualitative analysis: Composite approach views the whole body as a system that progresses through phases as it refines movement patterns. Component approach uses the same phase method, but breaks the body down into component sections. Composite approach: total body approach, breaks down movement patterns into primary body parts, stages of skill progression are based on the product of all body parts in combination. Each stage identifies important body parts used to perform the skill. Component approach: error analysis strategy, each primary body component is observed, each component has its own evaluative series of stages that can be advanced through independently of each other. Quantitative motion analysis: refers to a type of information that is based on quantities obtained using a measurement process.
