What is the definition of biomechanics according to Hall?
|
Biomechanics is the science involving the study of biological systems from a mechanical perspective.
|
|
|
What are the sub fields of mechanics?
|
Statics and Dynamics. Dynamics is further broken into kinetics and kinematics.
|
|
|
What is the definition of mechanics?
|
Mechanics is the physical science which deals with the state of rest or motion of bodies under the action of forces.
|
|
|
What is the definition of statics?
|
Concerns the equilibrium of bodies under the action of forces.
|
|
|
What is the definition of kinematics? provide an example
|
Kinematics is the study of the motion of bodies without respect to forces that cause the motion. Example: displacement, velocity, acceleration
|
|
|
What is the definition of kinetics? provide an example
|
Kinetics is the study of motion of the body with respect to the forces that cause the motion. Example: free body diagrams
|
|
|
What is dynamics?
|
Dynamics is the study of accelerated motion of bodies.
|
|
|
What are the three forms of motion?
|
1) Translation = rectilinear = Curvilinear

|
What is a major objective of qualitative biomechanical analysis?
|
One objective of qualitative analysis is to be as accurate as possible within a framework of known limitiations.
