Introduction
1.1 Human Body – Kinematic Perspective
The human musculoskeletal system (also known as the locomotor system) is the combination of two main components, namely a passive skeletal system and an active muscular system to facilitate human movements with support and stability. The skeletal system initiates with 230 bones at birth and reduces to 206 due to fusion of some bones as the person reaches adulthood and these bones form the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton via 360 joints. There are four types of bones in the human body, namely short bones, flat bones, irregular bones and sesamoid bones, while there are three types of joints, immovable joints, slightly movable joints and freely movable joints. The muscular system includes muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other connecting tissues [108]. Figure 1.1 is a depiction of these two components.
