Test Bank for Therapeutic Kinesiology Musculoskeletal Systems Palpation and Body Mechanics by TK Test Bank Questions_ All chapters p.1 Chapter Test Bank Answers Narrative Kinesiology is the study of human movement Biomechanics is the study of mechanical concepts in human motion Six forces that act on the body to generate or affect movement are muscle contractions, friction, gravity, wind, water, and weight A sequential movement travels from one muscle group and joint to the next in a consecutive chain; in a simultaneous movement, the whole body moves at once The anatomical position is a standing position of the body with the arms at the sides and the palms facing forward It is used as a universal reference point to describe the anatomical location or direction of movement of any of the body's structures A kinetic chain is a combination of successively linked joints connected by a series of muscles that make up a movement pathway A local pattern refers to the structures or movement patterns of a specific joint or muscle A global pattern refers to larger patterns of posture and movement, such as kinetic chains, developmental movement patterns, and whole-body movements A practitioner addresses local patterns by applying hands-on interventions to specific parts of the body, and addresses global patterns by applying hands-on interventions to affected areas of the body to improve the whole-body pattern True or False False True True True False False Fill in the Blank superior, inferior, anterior, superficial active, passive forward or anteriorly, toward the body leg, forearm Matching Terms Spatial Terms Horizontal / transverse plane – c Sagittal / median plane – f Frontal / coronal plane – d Anterior−posterior axis – a Bilateral axis (medial−lateral axis) – e Vertical / longitudinal axis – b Directional Terms Dorsal and ventral – b Full file at https://TestbankDirect.eu/
