Kinetic Chain Optimization

Meaning

Kinetic Chain Optimization is the systematic refinement of movement efficiency, ensuring the coordinated, sequential action of all body segments—including muscles, joints, and associated fascia—to produce maximal force or speed with the least possible energy expenditure. The body is viewed as an integrated system where force is generated proximally and transferred distally. Clinical application focuses on correcting movement dysfunctions and enhancing the timing and magnitude of muscle activation across multiple joints.
