Biomechanics
 A human body is a complex of structure and has many function, the
study of mechanics in human body is termed as Biomechanics.
 It consist of two areas :-
 Kinetics :- area of biomechanic s which includes study of motions
 Kinematics :- It is defined as the study of function or forces which
are producing that motion to maintain it in equilibrium.
Kinetics
 Study of forces
 Forces are of two types
 Internal force:- forces that are arise from sources with the human
body. E.g. muscles, bones, ligament.
 External forces:- These are the pushes and pulls of the body arises
from sources outside the human body. E.g. Gravitational forces.
 (there are some other forces like friction and atmospheric pressure
which act both internally and externally)
kinematics
 Study of motions
 There are three types of motions
 Angular motion
 Translatory motion
 Curvilinear motion
 Angular motion :- the movement of the motion to the joint axis each
point on the object moves through the same angle at the same
time and constant distance on the axis of rotation.
 Translatory Movement:- when the movement of the object at the
straight line and each point of the object moves through same
angle and same time and in parallel direction.
 Curvilinear Motion :- when an object rotate about an axis and
moves through space at the same time is known as Curvilinear
Motion.
Arthokinematics
 It refers to the movement of joint surface in this one joint surface is
more stable and serves as a base for motion while other surface
moves on this fixed base.
 It thas three types of Motions
 Roll:- it refers to the rolling of one joint surface on another as a tier
rolling on the road.
 Spins :- it refers to a rotation of a movable component as when a
top spins
 Gliding:- it is pure translatory motion refers to gliding of one
component to another.
Osteokinematics
 Movement of bone rather than movement of articulating surface.
 The normal ROM sometimes known as anatomic and physiological
ROM because the normal range refers to the amount of motion
available at a joint within an anatomical limit of joint structure.
 ROM is considered to be pathological when a motion of the joint
either exceed or decrease to reach the normal anatomical limit of
motion.
 When ROM increase normal limits the joint is hypermobile and when
ROM decreases the joint is hypermobile.
Kinematic chain
 The type of motion that occur in the joints of limb and when a
person is standing can be described by kinematic chain which are
of two types

 Open kinematic chain :- when the ends or distal parts of the limb
are free without causing motion on another joint is called open
kinematic chain.
 Close kinematic chain :- when the ends or distal parts of the limb
are fixed on the ground is called close kinematics chain.
Forces
 Force is that which alters the state of rest of a body or its uniform motion
in a straight line.
 A single force applied to a body, which is free to move, causes
movement in the direction of the force.
 a. Two forces acting in the same direction and at a common pointare
equivalent to a single force acting in that direction, whose magni- tude
is equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the individual forces.
 b. Two equal forces acting at a common point, and in opposite
directions, will result in a state of equilibrium.
 c. Two unequal forces acting at a common point and in opposite
directions will result in movement in the direction of the greater force.
Continue....
 d. Sometimes it is inconvenient to apply force in a particular
direction and in these circumstances two forces acting at an angle
to each other may be compounded to produce the desired effect.
 e. Two unequal forces acting at different points and in opposite
direc- tions produce rotation of the body
 WORK
 Work is defined as the product of force and the distance through
which the force acts. It is measured in joules or ergs.
 ENERGY
 Energy is the capacity of a body for doing work.
 Potential Energy is the capacity for doing work by virtue of position
and a body's capacity for doing work because of its velocity is
called Kinetic Energy.
 FRICTION
 Friction is the force which opposes motion when one surface slides
upon another. It may be sufficient to prevent movement altogether,
e.g. as in the case of rough surfaces or substances, such as rubber,
when they are in contact with one another.
 POWER
 Power is the rate of doing work or the rate of energy expenditure. It is measured
in joules per second or ergs per second.
 ACCELERATION
 Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. A positive accelera- tion causes
an increase and a deceleration, or retardation, a decrease in velocity.
 MOMENTUM
 The momentum of a body is the quantity of motion it possesses, and it is
represented by the product of mass and velocity. The force responsible for the
momentum will generate movement slowly in a relatively heavy body and
more rapidly in a lighter body.
 INERTIA
 Inertia is the resistance of a body to any change in its state of rest or motion. A
body at rest tends to remain at rest indefinitely, while a moving body tends to
continue moving at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted upon
by a force. Inertia may be defined as the reversed effective force of a body.
NEWTON'S LAW
 Newton's law of Inertia :- the object will remain at rest or
in uniform motion unless acted by unbalance force .
 Newton's law of acceleration:- it states that acceleration
is proportional to unbalanced force acting on it and
inversely proportional to the mass of an object
 A=F/M
 Newton's law of reaction :- To every action there is equal
and opposite reaction.
