AB Kinesiology  is  broadly  defined  as  the  scientific  study  of  human  movement  that  encompasses  anatomical,  physiological,  and  mechanical  concepts.  Although  most  kinesiological  analysis  in  clinical  practice  is  qualitative  in  nature  (i.e.,  one's  knowledge  of  functional  anatomy  and  physiology  forms  the  basis  for  movement  analysis),  quantitative  approaches  to  describing  motion  characteristics  (kinematics)  and  identifying  the  causes  of  movement  (kinetics)  will  also  be  considered  in  this  section.  These  latter  approaches  to  evaluating  human  movement  are  further  expanded  in  the  field  of  biomechanics.
