It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...an axis?

Various Variables
Just Eyeball It
Gait Generalities
100

Name 1 activity that occurs in each of the 3 planes

ie: STS- sagittal, jumping jack- frontal, supine twist- longitudinal

100

What are the 3 different kinetic chain link principles?

combined, sequential, simultaneous 

100

Name 2 variables that are considered scalar

ie: having only magnitude 

- speed, distance 

100

What is the difference between a kinematic and kinetic measuring device?

Kinematic- has to do with measuring movement

Kinetic- force measurement

100

Define stride vs. step

stride: ipsilateral heel contact to ipsilateral heel contact


Step: ipsilateral heel contact to contralateral heel contact

200

When you nod your head yes, your cervical spine is moving about the _______ axis. 

Horizontal (medial-lateral)

200

Name 2 activities that occur within the simultaneous kinetic chain link principle

ie: Shot put, sprinting, broad jump

200

What is the difference between displacement and distance?

Distance is how far something traveled, displacement is how far and in what direction

200

Give an example of a kinematic and kinetic measuring device

Kinematic: ie: exoskeleton device, goniometer

Kinetic: dynamometer, suitcase weight dynamometer

200

Describe 2 things that occur during stance when walking speed increases

- single limb support increases

- arm swing speed increases 

- double limb stance periods are shortened

300

Give an example of a multiplanar activity

ie: running the hurdles, curtsy lunge/step-up, baseball swing/pitch, golf swing

300

Describe the difference between the sequential and simultaneous kinetic chain link principles

Sequential: movements must occur in a specific order in order for the right activity to occur, one movement is followed by another, different movement

Simultaneous: movements build on one another over time, force is increased about the same movement during a span of time

300

What is Newton's 1st law of motion (inertia)?

An object will remain in rest or in uniform movement unless acted upon by another force

300
Provide an example of a temporal measuring device.

timer, bed alarm

300

Define the passenger unit

70% of BW, head, neck, arms trunk

400

Provide 2 examples of osteokinematic movements that occur on the anteroposterior axis

Hip Abduction, shoulder adduction

400
Describe a movement that is a combined kinetic chain link principle and why

ie: Tennis serve 

Power is generated over time during the wind-up of the tennis serve- spine extension and knee flexion building up for release- followed by a series of specific trunk and UE movements in order to come in contact with the ball

400

If you move your arm from neutral to 50* abduction, then  to 100* abduction, then back to 25* abduction, how much distance in degrees did the arm travel? 

175*

400

What is the difference between shutter speed and frame rate?

Shutter speed: amount of time each individual frame is exposed to light 

Frame rate: number of pictures captured per second

400

Linear distance between heels of opposite feet is:

step width

500

During a squat, describe the osteokinematic movements that occur about the ankle in the prep, execution, and follow through phases

DF, PF, PF

500

Describe the 3 phases of movement and define them. 

Prep- preparing the body for acceleration or force-producing phase

Execution- acceleration or force production point of an activity

Follow-through- slowing the moving body down 

500

Finish the phrase: every force will have an ____________________ reaction

equal and opposite

500

The human eye samples at _________

24 Hz

500

What is the norm for veritcal and horizontal displacement in the gait cycle?

~2 inches 

vertical - 2 in, horizontal- less than 2 inches
