True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
____ 8. The convex-concave principle states that if a convex surface moves on a concave surface, the roll
and glide occur in the same direction.
____ 9. Kinematics is associated with motion of a body or segment without regard to the forces that produce
motion.
____ 10. Arthrokinematics is concerned with gross bony motions.
____ 11. During rotary motion, the farther the distance from the axis of motion, the greater the velocity of that
point.
____ 12. Adduction is associated with movements of a segment further away from midline of the body.
____ 13. Goniometry is useful in quantifying translatory motion between adjacent bony segments.
, ____ 14. Closed kinematic chain motions occur when the distal segment is fixed and the
proximal segments move.
