Abstract

Arthrokinematics is the area of kinesiology which focuses on the motion between articular surfaces of synovial joints. Osteokinematics is the area of kinesiology which focuses on geometrical bone movements in a space. Measurement of range of motion in orthopedic medicine is based on osteokinematics (Fig. 3.1). In order to understand sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction, knowledge of “joint position” and “accessory movement” is required.
