1
Q

Passenger Unit

A
  • head, neck, trunk, arms, pelvis
  • carried in normal gait, and doesnt directly contribute to the act of walking

Q

Terminal Stance Objectives

Perry

A

Q

Pre-Swing Objectives

Perry

A
  • prepare leg for swing phase
  • aid transfer of body weight to opposite leg
  • continued floor contact assists body balance as body weight is transferred to the other limb

Q

Midswing Objectives

Perry

A
  • Floor Clearance
  • Limb Advancement
17
Q

Terminal Swing Objectives

Perry

A
  • Complete Step Length
  • Prepare for initial contact
18
Q

Ground Reaction Forces

A

equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to those being experienced (exerted) by the weight-bearing limb

19
Q

What is joint stability in the stance leg influenced by

A

relation of the GRF vector to the proximity of the joint axis of rotation, which creates a moment

20
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

Joint moment curves represent the net joint moments

A

TRUE

muscle co-contractions are not taken into account

21
Q

Link Segment Model Assumptions

A
  • each segment has fixed mass
  • location of COM remains fixed during the movement
  • joints are considered to be hidge joints
  • joints are frictionless
  • mass moment of inertia of each segment is constant
  • length remains constant
22
Q

Link Segment Model Limitations

A
  • foot and trunk are not represented well with only a signle rigid segment
  • limb segments and joint interfaces are assumed to be rigid
  • can only calculate net joint moments
  • cannot meaningfully interpret joint forces
23
Q

Inverse Dynamics Solution

A

between the anthropomorphic data, the assumptions regarding the link-segment model, and the model’s limitations, there is a lot of room for error to creep into the process

error propigates proximally up the leg

24
Q

External moment

A

moment that is created by external forces acting on the body that tend to cause rotation about the joint; also referred to as a demand moment

25
Q

Internal Moment

A

Moment that is created by muscles, ligaments, friciton, or other structural constrains; also referred to as a “response” moment

26
Q

Joint Power

A
  • rate of work
  • product of net joint moment and joint angular velocity
  • if both are in the same direction positive joint power is produced
  • if both are in opposite direction power output is negative
27
Q

Metabolic Energy

A

physiological energy expenditure at rest or during exercise can be measured by the body’s heat and work production

28
Q

Indirect Calorimetry

A
  • measuring O2 consumption
29
Q

Rate of O2 Consumption

A

ml of O2 consumed per kg body mass per unit time

30
Q

O2 Cost

A

amount of oxygen consumed per kilogram body mass per unit distance traveled

31
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

ROM increases with walking speed

A

True

32
Q

What effect does walking speed have on joint power

A

power increases proportionally to walking speed
