Flexion: Pectoralis Major, Coracobrachialis,
Extension: Latissimus dorsi, teres major,











Scope of Biomechanics
 



- study of human movement using mechanics and applied anatomy.

Sport: technique development, injury reduction.

Clinical: Rehabilitation (checking gait, analyse surgery methods, alignment - technology), disease identification and progression, best surgical outcome consideration, improving movement, reduce loading leading to reduced diseases.

Occupational: Ergonomics. (back injuries in shearers i.e. identifying occupational problems)

- Learning path for Skill

Tactical - Technical - Physical - Mental
SSEH2280 looks at the Technical aspect.

- Deciding What technique to Teach

Use past experiences (i.e. grip)
Current world trends (keep up to date)
look for Flairs of athletes (gift of an athlete)

Link past experiences, current world trends, flairs (above 3) with biomechanics.


Cartesian Coordinate System (has x and y coordinates) describe 2D position/movement.


PLANE OF MOTION



- Sagittal: divides left and right
- Coronal/Frontal: divides front and back.
- Transverse: Divides top and bottom.
* Different angles are used for different measurements.

- Could measure front and back knee angle, forward lean of trunk (Sagittal)

- Trunk angle, shoulder/upper limb abduction/adduction (Frontal)

- Shoulder alignment, hip alignment (shows shoulder and hip rotations) (Transverse)
