Kinetic Concepts
Kinetic Concepts (pronounced: kɪˈnɛtɪk ˈkɒnsɛpts) is a term used in the field of medicine and biomedical engineering to describe the study and application of the principles of motion and forces to biological systems.
Etymology
The term "Kinetic Concepts" is derived from the Greek word "kinesis", meaning movement, and the Latin word "conceptus", meaning something conceived or imagined. Together, they represent the idea of understanding and applying the principles of movement in a biological context.
