20. Gait Flashcards

1
Q

Walking

A

Simple but complicated!

Simple – we can do it without having to think

Complicated – involves so many structures in the body
Musculoskeletal system = muscles, tendons, bones, joints,
Nervous system = sensory, motor, autonomic, proprioception
Cardiovascular system = heart, blood vessels
Special senses = vision, hearing
Problem(s) with any of the systems / structures can have an effect on our ability to walk

25
Q

Types of turning

A

step turn
ipsilateral pivot

26
Q

Base of support

A

Defined as the area within an outline of all ground contact points

27
Q

Centre of mass

A

COM = Centre of Mass

The average position of all the parts of the system, weighted according to their masses

28
Q

Terrain adjustment

A

Stairs – up & down
Uneven surfaces
Various surface properties (e.g. soft/hard, slippery)

29
Q

A complete picture of of gait analysis

A

If you want to get the complete picture, you need to take into account your patient’s movement routines:

Daily walking – to & from work / school?
Activities – sports? dance?
Surfaces – smooth? uneven? soft? hard?

Only straight-line walking in clinic is not always sufficient
? Compensatory mechanisms

30
Q

Conditions causing disruptions in gait

A 
Musculoskeletal conditions 
E.g. Arthritis, Tendinopathy, Ligament injury
Neurological conditions 
E.g. Parkinson’s, Cerebral Palsy, CVA, Peripheral neuropathy
Others
Pain
Behavioural issues
Supply of energy
