|
A place where two or more bones meet to connect parts and allow for movement in the body. Also called a joint. |
Articulations |
|
|
Movement of bone surface in the joint capsule including roll, spin, and slide. |
Arthrokinematics |
|
|
The ability to control equilibrium. Two types of balance are static, or still, balance and dynamic, or moving, balance. |
Balance |
|
|
The position of a joint in such a way that motion at one of the joints is accompanied by motion at an adjacent joint |
Close kinematic chain |
|
|
The force applied to overcome resistance |
Effort |
|
|
Push or pull on an object in an attempt to affect motion or shape |
Force |
|
|
The rhythm is an alternating motion of the legs,, and arms resulting in propulsion of the body |
Gait |
|
|
Subdivided into the stance phase and swing phase, the cycle begins when the heel of 1 foot strikes the floor and continues until the same heel strike the floor again. |
Gait Cycle |
|
|
The involuntary movement that occurs between articular surfaces that is separate the actual range of motion of a joint produced by muscles. Joint play is essential component of joint motion and it must occur for normal functioning of the joint. |
Joint Play |
|
|
The study of movement that combines the fields of anatomy, physiology, physics, and geometry and related to them to human movement. |
Kinesiology |
|
|
A solid mass such as crowbar or a person's arm that rotates around a fixed point called a fulcrum. Imitation is produced by a force applied 211 at some distance the fulcrum. |
Lever |
|
|
The movement of bones as opposed to the movement of articular surfaces also known as range of motion. |
Osteokinemetics |
|
|
A position in which the ends of a lamb body part free to move without causing motion at another joint. |
Open Kinematic Chain |
|
|
Simulation of an antagonist muscle to inhibit action in the prime mover. |
Reciprocal Inhibition |
