Biomechanics of Human Movement
The biomechanics of human motion is a fascinating field. Who among us has never marveled at the graceful motions of a dancer or the rapid finger movements of a musician? From the time of Aristotle onward there have been countless books written on the topic of movement in animals and humans. Despite the great minds that have considered the topic, it is just recently that much advancement has bee...
متن کاملBiomechanics of foetal movement.
Foetal movements commence at seven weeks of gestation, with the foetal movement repertoire including twitches, whole body movements, stretches, isolated limb movements, breathing movements, head and neck movements, jaw movements (including yawning, sucking and swallowing) and hiccups by ten weeks of gestational age. There are two key biomechanical aspects to gross foetal movements; the first be...
متن کاملBiomechanics of human movement and its clinical applications.
All life forms on earth, including humans, are constantly subjected to the universal force of gravitation, and thus to forces from within and surrounding the body. Through the study of the interaction of these forces and their effects, the form, function and motion of our bodies can be examined and the resulting knowledge applied to promote quality of life. Under gravity and other loads, and co...
متن کاملBiomechanics of human tongue movement during bolus compression and swallowing.
We evaluated the effects of gel consistency and bolus volume on ingestion in humans. Eight healthy men were asked to ingest liquids, and sample foods of different gel consistencies and volumes, as usual. Tongue pressure against the hard palate was recorded at five points, and bolus flow was recorded using videoendoscopic images. The number of squeezes increased as gel consistency and volume inc...
متن کاملThe biomechanics of pathological gait - from muscle to movement.
Clinicians face the daily challenge of assessing and treating patients with gait problems. Musculoskeletal models appear to show potential for assisting with the understanding of complex pathological movements, however they are also complex and reliant on multiple assumptions in order to maintain stability. This paper breaks down the process by which muscles produce movement into a series of st...
