  2. Study of animal locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_of_animal_locomotion

    are platforms, usually part of a trackway, that can be used to measure the magnitude and direction of forces of an animal's step. When used with kinematics and a sufficiently detailed model of anatomy, inverse dynamics solutions can determine the forces not just at the contact with the ground, but at each joint in the limb. Electromyography

  3. Biomechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomechanics

    Page of one of the first works of Biomechanics (De Motu Animalium of Giovanni Alfonso Borelli) in the 17th century. Biomechanics is the study of the structure, function and motion of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, at any level from whole organisms to organs, cells and cell organelles, [1] using the methods of mechanics. [2]

  4. Gait analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_analysis

    It is also commonly used in sports biomechanics to help athletes run more efficiently and to identify posture-related or movement-related problems in people with injuries. The study encompasses quantification (introduction and analysis of measurable parameters of gaits ), as well as interpretation, i.e. drawing various conclusions about the ...

  5. Kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetics

    Flip-flop kinetics, the pharmacokinetics of sustained-release or extended-release drug formulations; Toxicokinetics, the branch of pharmacokinetics dealing with compounds that are toxic or can be administered in toxic doses; Human kinetics or kinesiology, the study of human biomechanical movement; C 0 t analysis, also known as DNA recombination ...

  6. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...

  7. Kinaesthetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinaesthetics

    The body will perform the motion based on the information that is stored in the brain from previous attempts at the same movement. [3] This is possible because the brain has formed connections between the location of body parts in space (the body uses perception to learn where their body is in space [ 4 ] ) and the subsequent movements that ...

  8. Anatomical terms of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_motion

    Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms.Motion includes movement of organs, joints, limbs, and specific sections of the body.The terminology used describes this motion according to its direction relative to the anatomical position of the body parts involved.

  9. Kinetics (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetics_(physics)

    In physics and engineering, kinetics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion and its causes, specifically, forces and torques. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Since the mid-20th century, the term " dynamics " (or " analytical dynamics ") has largely superseded "kinetics" in physics textbooks, [ 4 ...
