Kinesiology

The scientific study of human body movement, encompassing biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, psychology, and neuroscience as they relate to physical activity. In accessibility contexts, kinesiology provides foundational knowledge about how people move and interact with their environment, informing the design of ergonomic interfaces, adaptive input devices, and assistive technologies that accommodate diverse motor abilities. Kinesiological assessments of strength, range of motion, and coordination are used to match users with appropriate assistive technology solutions.
