Kinematics Kinetics
What is kinematics?
Spatial and temporal characteristics Qualitative or quantitative Linear & angular motion
Why use kinematics?
Practical: Provides a standard for us in performing, teaching, or evaluating a skill
Research: Once we describe, we can ask why?
Problem with kinematics? Practical: Proper kinematics does not always mean
proper force application

3. Guidelines for Describing Motion of the Human Body & Its Segments
Kinematic Variables
Time Position Displacement & distance Velocity & speed Acceleration
Time – Temporal Analysis
WHEN? HOW OFTEN? IN WHAT ORDER? HOW LONG?
Most basic analysis Examples:
Cadence Stride time Temporal patterning
Temporal Patterning
Temporal PatterningStance Swing
Absolute vs. Relative Timing
Position
position - location in space relative to some reference point
Linear position (s) x,y,z coordinates
Angular position () Units
WHERE?
Displacement & Distance
Displacement (s, ) Final change in position Vector quantity
Distance (p, ) Sum of all changes in
position Scalar quantity
HOW FAR?
Units (m, °)
Velocity & Acceleration
Velocity (v, ) Vector quantity position time Units (m.s-1, °.s-1)
Acceleration (a, ) Vector quantity velocity time Units (m.s-2, °.s-2) Insight into
forces/torques
HOW FAST?HOW QUICKLY IS VELOCITY CHANGING?

3. Reference Systems for Describing Motion of the Human Body & Its Segments
4. Guidelines for Describing Motion of the Human Body & Its Segments
1. Distinguish between motion & position of joints & segments.
A B
2. Recognize that either segment can rotate about a joint.
3. Recognize that bones move linearly as well as angularly.
4. Understand that movement generally occurs in oblique planes around oblique axes.
5. When observing motion, look at the plane, down the axis.
Summary
1. Identify the system of interest2. Identify the type(s) of motion of interest3. Identify the reference system for the motion4. Describe precisely the temporal & spatial
characteristics of that motion using appropriate terminology for the situation
