The Kinetic Chain is a way of describing human movement and it can either be an open kinetic chain or a closed kinetic chain. An open kinetic chain is defined as “a combination of successively arranged joints in which the terminal segments can move freely” Thus an open chain movement is when the peripheral segment/joint of an extremity is free to move. <ref name="9">Ellenbecker TS, Davies GJ.

Introduction[edit | edit source]
The Kinetic Chain is a way of describing human movement and it can either be an open kinetic chain or a closed kinetic chain. An open kinetic chain is defined as “a combination of successively arranged joints in which the terminal segments can move freely” Thus an open chain movement is when the peripheral segment/joint of an extremity is free to move.
