What is biomechanics?
|
The science concerned with the internal and extra no forces acting on the human body and the effects produced by these forces
|
|
|
|
Anatomic locations:
Superior |
Positioned above a point of reference
|
|
|
|
What are the three planes of motion?
|
Sagittal, frontal, and transverse
|
|
|
|
What motion describes the sagittal plane and which axis does it occur on?
|
Flexion/extension on the coronal axis. Examples of exercise include:
Biceps curl, triceps push down, squat, front launch, calf raise, walking, running, vertical jumping, and climbing stairs. |
|
|
|
What motion occur on the frontal plane and which axis does it occur on?
|
Adduction / abduction, lateral flexion, eversion/inversion on the anterior - posterior axis
|
|
|
|
What motions take place on the transverse plane and on what axis does it occur?
|
Internal rotation, external rotation, left/right rotation, horizontal adduction, horizontal abduction on the longitudinal axis
|
|
|
What do these show?
|
Three planes of motion
|
|
|
|
Describe a frontal plane of motion
|
NOT front to back movements, side to side movement, exercises involving abduction or adduction of the limbs
|
Imagine a wall in front and in back of you the only movement this would allow is along that plane
|
|
|
Describe sagittal plane of movement
|
Forward and backward movement movement involving pushing and/or pulling movement involving flexion and/or extension at joints
|
Imagine a wall on your right and left side the only movement this would allow is along that plane
|
|
|
Describe transverse plane of motion
|
Rotational movements, diagonal movements, example; rotation, wood-chop throw, medicine ball rotation chest pass
|
|
|
These movements occur on what plane?
|
Transverse plane
|
