Realtime inverse kinematics can actually be a variation on ragdoll physics. ie. ragdollify a limb, set gravity to like 1/2 it's normal value, and move around the last point(tip of hand/foot/head). This can even work with collisions. So basically, once you have ragdoll, kinematics is just a little extension.
