Essentials of Movement PTA 120 - Trail Guide to Movement Chapters 1 & 2

Flashcards covering introductory kinesiology, biomechanics, movement patterns, and anatomical systems based on Chapters 1 and 2 of the Trail Guide to Movement.

Human movement arises from interacting forces such as __________ vs. lift and __________ vs. mobility.

gravity; stability

The integration of human movement involves structure plus function and __________ (tensile) plus bones (compressive).

fascia

The __________ system is composed of the neural system, the myofascial system, and the skeletal system.

Neuromyofascialskeletal

__________ is defined as the scientific study of how the human body moves and its relationship to a person's health.

Kinesiology

__________ is the study of how mechanical principles relate to living structures.

Biomechanics

In biomechanics, __________ deals with aspects of nonmoving systems, while __________ applies to moving systems.

statics; dynamics

__________ studies the forces acting on the body, such as gravity, friction, and pressure, to explain why motion happens.

Kinetics

__________ analyzes the description of movement, including elements like time, space, displacement, speed, and acceleration.

Kinematics

If you are jumping off a step, the ground reaction force pushing up and gravity pulling down are examples of __________.

Kinetics

__________ is the ability to support and maintain good control throughout movement.

Stability

__________ is defined as the ability for soft tissues to lengthen passively through a ROM.

Flexibility

A __________ movement occurs when all body segments move together at the same time to produce force and accuracy, such as the chest pass.

Simultaneous

A __________ movement occurs when body segments move in a specific sequence to allow greater speed and power, such as throwing a baseball.

Sequential

The __________ pattern involves the hips, glutes, hamstrings, and spine and is essential for teaching safe lifting mechanics to protect the lumbar spine.

Hinge

The __________ pattern is clinically relevant for retraining gait, single-leg balance, and symmetry in strength.

Lunge

The __________ pattern is often used in scapular retraining, shoulder rehab, and improving posture.

Pull

The __________ chain refers specifically to joints connected in sequence within the kinetic chain.

Articular

According to the Joint By Joint Concept, the knees and the feet require __________, while the hips and the ankles require __________.

stability; mobility

In the Joint By Joint Concept, the __________ and __________ are designated as needing mobility.

Upper Neck; Upper Back

In terms of adaptation, the __________ system coordinates compensations like uneven muscle tension in scoliosis.

nervous

Of the four key structures essential for movement, __________ act as the framework for compression and tension, while __________ act as the motors.

Connective tissue; Muscles
