Introduction
History
The kinetic chain concept originated in 1955,when Steindler used
mechanical engineering theories of closed kinematic and link
concepts to describe human kinesiology. in the link concept rigid
overlapping segments are connected in a series by movable
joints. this system allows for predictable movement of one joint
based on the movement of other joints and is considered as close
kinematic chain.
Applying the concepts to human movement, Steindler observed 2
types of kinetic chain exists depending on loading of terminal
joint
Open kinetic chain and Closed kinetic chain
Open kinetic chain in which end segment is free to move.eg hip
flexion of swing limb during walking.
