Myo Kinetic Chain Concept
The kinetic chain (sometimes called the kinematic chain) is an engineering concept used to describe human movement. It is used in a wide variety of clinical conditions, including musculoskeletal, sports medicine, neuro-rehabilitation as well as prosthetics and orthotics. The concept was introduced by Franz Reuleaux, a mechanical engineer, in 1875. He proposed that rigid, overlapping segments were connected via joints and this created a system whereby movement at one joint produced or affected movement at another joint in the kinetic link.
