glossary of biomechanics

OSTEOCINEMATIC

MOVEMENT ANALYSIS

It is a set of motions when its position varies over time and path of points of the space that take place during the way of straight or curvilinear lines

GRAVITY CENTER

Point where all the mass of the body is concentrated

MARCH

Series of alternating and rhythmic movements of the limbs and trunk, which determine a forward displacement of the center of gravity with a minimum expenditure of energy

KNEE JOINT

It is one of the most complex joints of the body. The joints that make up the knee are three: knee joint (between the condyles of the femur and tibia), tuliana femoral joint (between the trochlea of the femur and articular surface of the patella) and the proximal tibiofibular joint

POSTURE

Way to have the body or body parts

LEVERS AND PULLEYS SYSTEM

are simple mechanisms that serve to save energy

BIOMECHANICS

Study of the mechanic laws in living structures

SMOOTH TISSUES

They help to connect bone and muscle surfaces

PHYSIC LAWS

They any direction of space and time

VECTORS

It is a physical quantity defined by a point in space, direction and sense

ARTROCINEMATIC

Is the study of bones movement

PLANES

It is an imaginary surface that limits the body in a specific direction

STRENGHT

is any cause that modifies the amount of movement or is able to change the material form

GLENOHUMERAL JOINT

It is one of the most important joints of the human body, located in the upper member, it has many functions with relation with the movement

POISE AND BALANCE

It is the ability of a body to be in balance, and this balance has to be in a state of zero acceleration

MUSCULAR CHAINS

are circuits in continuity of direction and anatomical planes which the organizing forces in the body go along

AXES

it is a real or imaginary line where movement occurs around it

TORAX

Upper part of the body located between the neck and abdomen, which are organs like the heart and lungs
