Joint Kinematics
Joint kinematics refers to the study of how joints move and their position changes over time without considering the forces causing the movement. It involves analyzing parameters like angles, velocities, and ranges of motion to understand how different parts of the body move relative to each other, such as bending or rotating a knee or elbow. This field helps in assessing normal movement, diagnosing issues, and improving rehabilitation or athletic performance by providing detailed descriptions of joint motion patterns.
