A

Stance Phase

22
Q

Toe off to just prior to heel strike

A

Swing Phase

23
Q

One lower extremity beginning its Swing Phase and the Opposite lower extremity ending its Swing Phase

A

SIngle Limb Support

24
Q

2 periods of Single Limb support and 2 periods of Double Limb support

A

Normal Gate Cycle

25
One lower extremity beginning Stance Phase and one lower extremity finishing Stance Phase
Double Limb Support
26
Stance Phase consists of:
1. Heel Strike 2. Foot Flat 3. Midstance 4. Heel Off 5. Toe Off
27
Point where body weight passes directly over the supporting limb
Midstance
28
Just after the referenced limb toe leaves the ground until the point when the swinging leg is under the body
Acceleration
29
Stride Length
Heel strike of one limb to heel strike of same limb
30
Step Length
Heel strike of one limb to heel off of the opposite lime
