, Human Movement Science The study of how the human movement system
(HMS) functions in an interdependent, interrelated
scheme.
Components of the HMS Muscular system (functional anatomy), the skeletal
system (functional biomechanics), and the nervous
system (motor behavior).
Biomechanics A study that uses principles of physics to
quantitatively study how forces interact within a
living body.
Human Movement This occurs in 3 dimensions and is universally
discussed in a system of planes and axes.
3 Planes of motion Sagittal, Frontal, Transverse
Movement in a plane This occurs when the movement is along or parallel
to that plane
Joint Motions Termed for their action in each of the 3 planes of
motion.
The Sagittal Plane This bisects the body into right and left halves.
Motion occurs around a frontal axis.
Movements in the sagittal plane Flexion and Extension
