Kinematics and Kinetics Concepts

Dr. A introduces kinesiology, emphasizing its role in understanding and applying knowledge of anatomy and physiology to study movement. The video defines kinesiology as the study of movement, highlighting its subdivisions: kinetics, which examines forces affecting movement, and kinematics, which focuses on movement itself. Further, kinematics is divided into osteokinematics, concerning bone movement, and arthrokinematics, which looks at joint movements.

What is the primary focus of anatomy?

• Study of body diseases

• Study of body function

• Study of body structure

• Study of body movement

How does kinesiology differ from anatomy and physiology?

• It focuses only on body structure

• It applies knowledge of structure and function to movement

• It focuses only on body function

• It studies body diseases

What does the study of kinetics involve?

• Analyzing body structure

• Studying forces that produce or resist movement

• Understanding body function

• Measuring joint angles

Which of the following best describes kinematics?

• Study of body structure

• Study of movement without regard to forces

• Study of body function

• Study of forces affecting movement

What tool is used to measure joint angles in kinematics?

• Stethoscope

• Goniometer

• Barometer

• Thermometer

What does osteokinematics focus on?

• Movement produced by muscles

• Movement produced by bones forming joints

• Movement of fluids in the body

• Movement of electrical impulses

What is the root word 'osteo' associated with?

• Nerve

• Joint

• Bone

• Muscle

What does arthrokinematics study?

• Small movements within and between joint surfaces

• Fluid movements in the body

• Electrical activity in muscles

• Large muscle movements

What does the root word 'arthro' refer to?

• Joint

• Muscle

• Bone

• Nerve

Which of the following is NOT a subdivision of kinematics?

• None of the above

• Biomechanics

• Arthrokinematics
