ANGULAR-KINEMATICS OF HUMAN MOVEMENT

CIRCULAR-MOTION:Now , the circular motion is defined as , its the motion in which a
body which cause to covered the circular path around the fixed
center of the circle and the distance which known as radius will
be remain same [or constant ] between that body which
performed that circular motion and the fixed point which known
as center of the circle .

Fig# 11.1 [circular motion ]

RELATIVE-ANGLE:The relative angle defined as : the angle between the one body
segment which relative to the other body segment , where these
both body segment are articulating at the joint, so this angle is
known as Relative-Angle.
Example:
We consider the relative angle at the knee joint this angle is between
the longitudinal axis of thigh and longitudinal axis of lower leg so,
1. In Extension this relative angle is zero degree .
2. In flexion , its value will be change .

ABSOLUTE-ANGLE:The Absolute-Angle are those angle in which we measured angle
orientation of a body segment with respect to a fix reference line .
also this reference line is imaginary and all the absolute angle is
measured in Posteriori [ Posterior ] direction.

INSTANCE-CENTER-OF-ROTATION: In this case , the point known as center of rotation at the joint ,
so when the two body segment which are articulated at the
joint .
When these two body segment will be rotated , due to which
this point will also be keep changing its position within the
joint [ joint act as a center of rotation ].

ANGULAR-DISTANCE: The Angular-Distance is measured as the sum of angular

changes undergoes by the rotating body denoted by [ ( phi
variant ) ] ,
Example:
Consider a person whose taking bicep cure exercise in GYM [
Fitness-connection GYM where I did work out in Toronto from
September 2011 to December 2012 ] , so its initial resting position

is about 90 degree in flexion phase, then he move his forearm on the
more flexion phase so, the Relative angle of elbow joint change will
be increase from 90 degree to 160 degree .
The angular distance covered by this action is
about.> [
];
Then , if his forearm move down ward in extension position and the
forearm returns to its original position to 90 from 160 then ,
The forearm covered the angular distance is about
.[
]; so then we say that the total
over all angular distance in one complete cycle of revolution is about
..[
]; .
In this above way , if this person take 10 complete cycle of
revolution then the result of this 10 complete cycle of revolution is
given below .
The angular-distance in this 10-complete cycle of revolution is about
=> [
].
------------finished-here---------ANGULAR - DISPLACEMENT : The Angular-displacement is the change in angle , when the
two body segment will be move so,
Its an angle between these two segment will be change then
due to which the angular displacement will be occurs .

RIGHT-HAND-RULE: The Right hand rule used to represent the direction of
angular motion vector .
If we bend the fingers of Right hand in the direction of rotation
then the thumb will point out the direction of motion vector .
