Question 5

Question 6

Flexion-

Answer 6

the action of bending or the condition of being bent, esp. the bending of a limb or joint.

Question 8

Functional deviations-

Answer 8

MAY BE OVERCOME THRU CORRECTIVE EXERCISES, PROPER TRAINING.

Question 9

Gait cycle-

Answer 9

Mechanical process your body goes through while running or walking.

Question 10

Internal rotation-

Answer 10

In anatomy, internal rotation (also known as medial rotation) is rotation towards the center of the body.

Question 11

Kyphosis-

Answer 11

excessive outward curvature of the spine, causing hunching of the back.

Question 12

Lordosis-

Answer 12

excessive inward curvature of the spine

Question 13

Posture-

Answer 13

a position of a person’s body when standing or sitting.

Question 14

Answer 14

Question 15

Scoliosis-

Answer 15

abnormal lateral curvature of the spine.

Question 16

Spasticity-

Answer 16

provide excessive resistance or excessive resistance or excessive assistance to movement. These complications make it essential to observe change in tone and movement response and relate them to changes in posture.

Question 17

Spinal anomalies-

Answer 17

Ataxic, Gluetus medius ( trendelenburg gait), Gluteus maximus, Hemiplegic gait, scissors gait, foot drop or toe drag, circumduction

Question 18

Stance phase-

Answer 18

Foot is on the ground bearing weight, allowing lower leg support body and advancement of the body over the supporting limb, makes up 60% of gait cycle and consists of 5 sub phases

1) Initial contact (heel strike)
2) Loading response (foot flat)
3) Midstance (single- leg stance)
4) Terminal Stance (heel off)
5) Preswig (toe off)

Question 19

Structural deviations-

Answer 19

OCCUR BECAUSE OF ABNORMALITIES OR DEFORMITIES OF SKELETAL SYSTEM FROM DISEASE OR INJURY. (SCOLIOSIS, KYPHOSIS, LORDOSIS, LEG LENGTH DIFFERENCES.
-TREATED BY DOCTORS. (CAST, SURGERY)

Question 20

Swing phase-

Answer 20

foot is moving forward and bearing any weight, allowing toes to clear and adjusting the leg as well as advancing the swing leg forward; makes up 40% of gait cycles and consist of 3 sub phases:

1) Initial swing (acceleration)
2) Midswing
3) Terminal Swing (deceleration)
