KINESIOLOGY
The scientific study of human movement.
Human movement
•Identify discrete phases in an activity
•Describe segmental movements in each phases
•Identify major muscle contributors to each joint
movement
Rising from chair
•Movements of hip extension
•Knee extension
•Plantarflexion
BIOMECHANICS
The applications of mechanics to human movement
Human movement
•Describing motion characteristics of human movement
using parameters such as speed, direction, acceleration.
•Study on how motion is created through application
of forces both insides and outside the body.
Rising from chair
Measure and identify joint forces acting at the hip,
knee, and ankle along with the force between the foot
and the floor (all of which act together to produce
the movement up out of the chair)
BIOMECHANICS RESEARCH
DrOS (Housh, Housh and Johnson - 2003)
Developmental biomechanics
Evaluate fundamental movement patterns in
performing gross (crawling, walking – involve
large muscle group) and fine motor skills
(manipulating small objects, transferring
object – involve small muscle group).
BIOMECHANICS RESEARCH
Occupational Biomechanics
Focuses on providing safe and efficient working
environment, both indoors and outdoors.
 Better Safety equipment – helmets, shin
guards,footwear to protect from any work hazards.
 Safe and ergonomic working tools to minimize
overuse injuries of both upper and lower limbs
 Designing of mass public transportation –
airplanes,trains,boats and automobiles for safety and
efficiency.
 Close allied with the science of ergonomics
BIOMECHANICS RESEARCH
Rehabilitative Biomechanics
Observe movement patterns of individuals who
are either injured or/and disabled, provide
appropriate interventions which enable
injured and disabled person to function as
close to, if not normally.
Develop exercise equipment, supplementary
aids such as walkers, orthotics and even
substitution devices such as prostheses for
rehabilitation purposes.
BIOMECHANICS RESEARCH
Exercise and Sport Biomechanics
Describe technique and movement patterns, quantify
the contributions of joint actions to technique and in
some cases, to predict and evaluate optimal
conditions of performance



Integrate the use of exercise machines for improving
strength, endurance, flexibility and speed.
Minimize sport related injuries and enhancing
performance
Make improvements on equipment such that it is
comfortable, easier to use, and provide a safe and
effective resistance for improving training and
performance.
Qualitative vs Quantitative Analysis
Qualitative: pertaining to quality (without
the use of numbers)
Quantitative: involve numbers
Both are important for biomechanical analysis of human
motion. Some rely on quantitative, some on qualitative
analysis.

Flexion, extension,
Abduction, adduction,
Rotation (medial and lateral).
Specialized movement descriptors
Head and trunk only
Lateral flexion
Shoulder girdle movement
Elevation, depression
Protraction and retraction (adduction and abduction in
scapula)
Upward and downward rotation

Horizontal abduction and adduction
Forearm
Pronation and supination
Wrist joint
Radial and ulnar flexion
Foot
Plantar and dorsiflexion
Inversion and eversion
Pronation and supination
MOVEMENTS IN THE SAGITTAL PLANE
Flexion
Anteriorly directed sagittal plane rotations of the head,
trunk, upper arm, forearm, hand and thigh.
Posteriorly directed sagittal plane rotation of the lower
leg.
Bending movement in which the relative angle of the
joint between 2 adjacent segements decreases.
Extension
Return the body to the anatomical position.
Straightening movement in which the relative angle of
the joint between 2 adjacent segments increases as
the joint return to the reference position.
Hyperextension
MOVEMENTS IN THE SAGITTAL PLANE
Hyperflexion (Hyperextension) – movement that
goes beyond the normal range of flexion (extension
- movement that goes beyond the anatomical
reference position and opposite of flexion)
SAGGITAL PLANE MOVEMENT
Dorsiflexion: bringing the top of the foot toward the Tibia,
angle between the leg and foot decrease.
Plantarflexion: opposite motion of Dorsiflexion, bottom of
the foot moves down and the angle between the leg and
foot increase.
Dorsiflexion
Plantar flexion
Movements in the frontal plane
• Abduction & adduction – move a
body segment away from and closer to
the midline of the body, respectively.
Abduction
Adduction
Lateral flexion
 Bending to one side.
The term lateral flexion
is used to describe
motions of the trunk and
neck.
Elevation & depression
 Movement of shoulder
girdle in the superior
and inferior direction

the hand and forearm so that
the palm is down.

In the foot (subtalar joint), it is
a combination of motions
resulting in a position such
that the foot is abducted and
everted.

of human motion.
Most commonly used is the Cartesian
coordinate system.
Human body joint centers are labeled
with numerical x and y coordinates.

TOOLS FOR MEASURING KINEMATIC
QUANTITIES
Objective: To determine the coordinates of the marked points as a function of time
Direct Measurement Techniques
Goniometers
Special Joint Angle Measuring Systems
Accelerometers
Indirect Measurement (Imaging) Techniques
Cinematography
Television
Optoelectric technique
Others indirect measurement
TOOL FOR KINEMATICS MEASUREMENT
OPTICAL SYSTEM
Cinematography (movie cameras)
Type of film use depend on lighting available,
Television
The major difference between Cinematography and Television is the frame rate (The
number of images that are shown or sent each second) , where the Television has a
fixed frame rate (50 or 60 Hz).
Television has high enough field rate for most movement, but too low for quantitative
analysis of rapid athletic movement.
•Standard video camera – reflective marker produces a trailing edge and blurs image
when there is a rapid movement.
•CCD cameras – eliminates both blurring and skewing
•Infrared cameras – reflected infrared lights from the markers is the only lights picked
up by the camera.
Optoelectric Techniques optical
Subject wear tiny infrared lights on
each desired anatomical landmarks.
The lights were flashed sequentially,
and detected on a special camera.
Non Optical techniques
Magnetic System – Sensors are linked
by cables to a computer.
Electromagnetic System – the
subjects wear a body suit.
Acoustic Systems –Sonar uses
reflected sound waves.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Optical Systems
Advantages
Most systems are not limited to the numbers of markers
used.
Encumbrance to movement is minimal (lightweigth reflective
markers).
Inexpensive (VCR and TV cameras).
TV and Cine can be replayed for teaching purposes or for
qualitative analysis of the total body movement.
Disadvantages
Most multiple cameras are expensive.
Some imaging system cannot be used outdoor.
TUTORIAL FOR NEXT WEEK
In a group of 5, write a five minute presentation on the
motion capture system. The presentation will be
done during the tutorial session.
The purpose of the presentation is to identify and
describe the type of kinematics measuring
equipment that are currently available.
Includes:
1. Classification (imaging – Cinematography,
Television, Optoelectric technique; Other techniques
- Magnetic, electromagnetic, acoustic or any other
technique).
2. Advantage and disadvantages of the system (cost,
limitation in place, and other factors to be
considered)
