Axes & Planes, Speed, Acceleration, Inertia, Friction | Mechanics of Movements

In this episode of Mechanical Principles, I walk you through from axes and planes to speed, work, power, inertia and more. These basics shape the way we assess movement and guide rehabilitation in clinical practice.

What you’ll learn?

  1. Planes and their types
  2. Frontal plane/Sagittal axis
  3. Motion in the frontal plane with an example
  4. Sagittal plane/ frontal axis
  5. Example of motion in the sagittal plane
  6. Horizontal plane/Vertical axis
  7. Motion in the horizontal plane with an example
  8. Speed/ Work/ Power/ Acceleration
  9. Momentum
  10. Inertia of Rest & Motion
  11. Friction
