Document Summary
Biomechanics: the study of the effects and control of forces that act upon, and are produced by, living bodies. Role of centre of gravity/ laws of motion/ leverage. Christian wilhelm braune (183101892) and otto fischer (1861-1917) Gait analysis, c of g, moment of inertia. 2d kinetic analysis of movement (walking & running) Careers: gait labs, ergonomics, rehabilitation, and sports biomechanics. Angular acceleration = sum of torques on segment. = m/i: : motion whole body, segments, joints, m: forces that cause motion muscle, tissue properties, joint anatomy, neural control, external forces, i: resistance to motion: anthropometrics mass, distribution. Accomplishment (free throw), accuracy (darts), speed (sprinting), efficiency (walking), combination (car racing: applications: sports performance, training, work tasks, therapy, functional electrical stimulation, tendon transfers, prosthetics. Mass concept explaining the resistance that objects have to change in their motion inertia: reluctance of a body to change in motion.
