kinesiology

• bone movement

  Osteokinematics
•  joint movement

  Arthrokinematics
• Arthrokinematics

  Union of successive segments to

  create an action
• Union of successive segments to 

  create an action

  KINEMATIC CHAIN
• distal - fixed, proximal - moving

  CKC
• distal - moving, proximal - fixed 

  OKC
• •Ligaments and capsules are slacked 

  ● Joint can be distracted few mm away

  Open packed/resting
• ● Ligaments are farthest to each other 

  ● Ligaments and capsules are taut 

  ● Joint is in maximal congruency 

  ● Joint is difficult to distract

  CLOSE PACKED
• ● Pattern of restriction / limitation

  CAPSULAR PATTERN
• Prime mover


  AGONIST
• ● Opposes the agonist

  Antagonist
• ● Accessory muscle 

  ● Assists the prime

  Synergist
• Stabilizes

  Fixator
• ● Shortening of muscles 

  ● Positive work: produces movement 

  Concentric
• No change in muscle length  or joint angle

  Isometric
• ● Lengthening of muscles 

  ● Negative work: absorbs energy

  ECCENTRIC
• ● No change in the rate of movement
