|
mechanics |
the physics of forces and motion when applied to the body has 2 components |
|
|
Statics |
the movement of the body without acceleration |
|
|
dynamics |
the movement of the body with acceleration |
|
|
anthropometrics |
the measurements of the physical characteristics of the body i.e. height, weight etc. |
|
|
Linked Rigid Biomechanics |
1. all segments are rigid 2. segments connect at joints 3. all joints have degrees of freedom |
|
|
biomechanics |
the application of physics to the motion and deformation of the body from shears, forces, pressures, torques etc. |
|
|
skeletal biomechanics |
deformation of skeletal forms |
|
|
vascular biomechanics |
deformation of vessels and flow within a vessel |
|
|
cellular biomechanics |
measure of force with which a cell interact within its surrounding environment |
|
|
acceleration |
time rate of change of velocity |
|
|
velocity |
time rate of change of position |
|
|
angular acceleration |
time rate of change of angular velocity |
|
|
angular velocity |
time rate of change of angle |
|
|
kinematics |
the study of the geometry of motion - ex. position, velocity etc |
|
|
kinetics |
the study of causes of motion - ex. torques, forces, sheers etc. |
|
|
inverse vs forward kinetics |
inverse uses kinematics first and then kinetics second...easier to do...forward uses kinetics then kinematics much harder to do |
