The distinction between relative motion and orientation is crucial in understanding human biomechanics. Relative motion refers to the movement of joints in relation to one another, while orientation involves moving multiple joints as a single unit. This difference is essential for effective force production and energy distribution throughout the body. Without recognizing these distinctions, individuals risk mismanaging forces during physical activity, which can lead to injuries or movement dysfunction.
