The science concerned with the internal and external forces acting on the human body and the effects produced by these forces |
Biomechanics |
|
|
Possitioned on the same side of the body |
Ipsilateral |
|
|
Positioned toward the outside of the body |
Lateral |

|
Divides the body into left and right halves |
Saggital Plane |
|
|
Joint beyond the normal limit or range of motion |

|
|
Plane that divides the body into front and back halves |
Frontal |
|
|
Plane that divides the body into top and bottom |
Transverse Plane |
|
|
Constant Muscle Tension (Force produced, muscle tension is developed, and movement occurs through a given range of motion) |
Isotonic |
|
|
Constant muscle length (No visible movement with or against resistance) |
Isometric |
|
|
Constant velocity of motion |
Isokinetic |
|
|
When muscle developes tension while lengthening |
Eccentric muscle action |
|
|
When a muscle is exerting force greater than resistive force, resulting in shortening of the muscle |
Concentric muscle action |
|
|
The resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at this resting length |
Lenght tension relationship |
|
|
Muscle groups working together to produce movement around a joint |
