What is Kinesiology?
Kinesis: “To move”
-ology: “to study:
The study of movement
What the heck does that mean?

Why do we need Kinesiology?
As health professionals, we must have expert knowledge of
all muscle groups in the body
There are ____ skeletal muscles in the human body
With that knowledge, we then know how to strengthen,
repair, improve, and maintain all body parts
Not only the how and what, but the WHY
If we understand the forces acting on the human body, we
can manipulate those forces in treatment procedures so that
human performance may be improved and further injury may
be prevented

Biomechanics
Biomechanics: the study of the mechanics as it relates to the functional and anatomical analysis of the human body.
Statics: involves all forces acting on the body being in balance, resulting in the body being in equilibrium.
Dynamics: involves the study of systems in motion while unbalanced due to unequal forces acting on the body.

Kinematics - Types of Motion
Translatory – Movement of a body in which all of its parts move in
the same direction and distance and at the same speed
Rectilinear motion = straight line motions (sliding surfaces)
Curvilinear motion = curved line of motion (the motion of a ball
when tossed)
Rotary the arc of motion around a fixed axis of rotation or a “pivot point”
Joints have “pivot points” which are used as reference points from
which to measure the range of motion (ROM) of that joint

Biomechanical Levers
Interaction of internal and external forces control movement

First Class

Second Class

Third Class
The axis is also at one end but gravity has more “leverage” than muscle
meaning that more muscle force is needed to lift a small load

Factors In Use of Anatomical Levers
Force Arm: the distance between the axis and the point of force.
Resistance Arm: The distance between the axis and the point of
resistance.

Mechanical Advantage Ratio between the force arm and the resistance arm
Force Arm ÷ Resistance Arm = Mechanical Advantage
If quotient >1:
FA>RA: mechanical advantage in force 1st and 2nd Class
If quotient <1:
FA<RA: mechanical advantage in speed and range of motion 1st and 3rd Class: This lever can not give any mechanical advantage.
Regardless of where you apply the force, the force you apply must always be greater than the force of a load.

Mechanical Advantage
It takes less force on your
part if you apply resistance
distally rather than
proximally.
Mechanical Advantage
decreases the more distal
you go

(Bio) Mechanical Advantage
Levers:
Origin and insertion of a muscle dictates mechanical advantage
If the insertion point of muscle is further away from the axis (joint),
this requires a less powerful movement
But moves it a smaller distance

Pulleys
A Pulley A grooved wheel that turns on
an axel with a rope or cable riding in the groove
Function To change the direction of a
force (fixed)
Majority of pulleys found in the body
To increase or decrease the magnitude of a force (moving)

Biomechanical Pulleys In the human body, in most cases
the pulley is replaced by a bone,
cartilage or ligament and the
cord is replaced by a muscle
tendon.
Pulley-like
The tendon is lubricated in a
manner so that it may easily slide
over the pulley.

Line of Pull
A muscle’s line of pull describes the direction of muscular force which can be represented in a vector. (the motions that are possible)
A muscle’s line of pull and the joint’s axis of rotation determines what action/motions a muscle can produce
If a muscle crosses a joint, it acts on that joint.
