Noun used with modifier
- wingbeat: Rayner 1979 b ) that efficiency can depend on flight speed owing to changes in wingbeat kinematics and therefore in muscle kinetics.

- knee: ACL reconstruction appears to fail to restore normal rotational knee kinematics as measured during dynamic loading.
- gas: Due to their narrow spectral lines, they also act as a high-resolution probe of gas kinematics in outflow regions and active galactic nuclei.
- reaction: Solution method: Global analysis of spectra is provided by incorporating nuclear reactions kinematics calculations in the program.
- plane: It showed acceptable repeatability in the sagittal and frontal plane kinematics, but not in the transverse plane parameters ( rotation angles ).
