biomechanics
|
study of the motion and
causes of motion of living things |
|
|
interdisciplinary
|
the simultaneous integrated application of several disciplines to solution of a problem
|
|
|
Biomechanics is a big part of what other type of science?
|
Kinesiology is the main part of biomechanice but the lines between all of the subjects are very blurred
|
|
|
The application of biomechanics can be split up into two main areas:
|
improving performance and preventing and treating injury
|
|
|
orthotics
|
objects/braces that correct deformities or joint positioning
|
|
|
prosthetics
|
artificial limbs
|
|
|
qualitative analysis
|
the quality of human movement
for the purpose of providing the most appropriate intervention to improve performance |
|
|
main approach in kinesiology
|
qualitative analysis
|
|
|
quantitative analysis
|
solving a biomechanical
problem using numerical measurements and calculations |
|
|
why quantitative over qualitative?
|
greater accuracy, consistency, and precision
|
|
|
improving performance involves:
|
-anatomical factors
-neuromuscular skills -physiological capacities -psychological/cognitive abilities |
|
|
biomechanical studies help prevent injuries by providing information on...
|
-mechanical properties of tissue
-mechanical loading during movement -preventative or rehabilitative therapies |
|
|
"ME" test for evaluating sources
|
"M"-motivation
"E"-evidence |
