Kinematics
(Kin`e*mat"ics) n. [Gr. motion, fr. kinei^n to move.] (Physics) The science which treats of motions considered in themselves, or apart from their causes; the comparison and relation of motions.

Kinematics forms properly an introduction to mechanics, as involving the mathematical principles which are to be applied to its data of forces. Nichol.

Kinepox
(Kine"pox`) n. (Med.) See Cowpox.

Kin"e*scope n. See Kinetoscope.

Kinesiatrics
(Kin`e*si*at"rics) n. [Gr. motion (fr. kinei^n to move) + pertaining to medicine, fr. a physician.] (Med.) A mode of treating disease by appropriate muscular movements; — also termed kinesitherapy, kinesipathy, lingism, and the movement cure.

Kinesipathy
(Kin`e*sip"a*thy) n. [Gr. motion + pa`qos suffering.] (Med.) See Kinesiatrics.

Kinesitherapy
(Kin`e*si*ther"a*py) n. [Gr. motion + to heal.] (Med.) See Kinesiatrics.

Kinetic energy. See Energy, n. 4.

Kinetics
(Ki*net"ics) n. (Physics) See Dynamics.

Kinetogenesis
(Ki*ne`to*gen"e*sis) n. [Gr. movable + -scope.] An instrument for producing curves by the combination of circular movements; — called also kinescope.
