Book Chapter Description

The kinetic chain concept originated in 1955 when Stendler described human kinesiology in terms of closed kinematic links.1 In this theory, body segments are considered rigid, overlapping segments in series connected by movable joints. With this conceptual framework, Stendler noted differences in muscular recruitment patterns and joint motions when the distal segment (foot or hand) is fixed compared to when it is freely movable. In the closed chain (distal segment fixed), the movement of one joint is typical and thus predictable based on the movement of the other joints in series. © 2009 Springer-Verlag New York.
