Q

Characteristics of proficient walkers

A

Proficient walkers tend to give up some stability for additional mobility an speed
Increase in stride length
Flat-footed changes to heel-to-toe (plantigrade gait)
Reduction of base of support
Pelvis begins to rotate
Oppositional arm swing, and well as arm-leg movements

30
Q

Mature walking patter at what age?

A

~4-5 years

31
Q

How does walking become more efficient?

A
  1. Stride width decreases
    Base of support os decreased to within the approximate lateral dimension of teh trunk, which increases mobility by allowing for greater stride length
  2. Flat - footed steps disappear (foot contact)
    Eventually replaced by plantigrade gait
    Heel - to - toe pattern
    Heel strike in front of body with toes in the air, followed by toe contact, with the heel lifting during the maintained toe contact
    Each leg spends 60% of time in stance, 40% in swing phase)
  3. Eversion of the foot decreases (foot angle)
    Feet evenly point straight ahead
  4. Pelvic rotation increases
    Allows full leg motion and oppositional movement of the upper body
  5. High-guard position decreases
    Eventually replaced by a reciprocal arm swing
32
Q

Walking: Arm swing of a new walker

A

fixed arm position important for reducing degrees of freedom

33
Q

Walking: Arm swing of a profiecnt walker?

A

arm swing counterbalances truck rotation around the vertical axis, degrees of freedom are released

34
Q

what is the first form of upright, bipedal locomotion

A

walking

35
Q

Walking is defined by:

A

Nearly equal phasing between the legs

Period of double support (both feet on the ground followed by a period of single support)

36
Q

Characteristics of early walking:

A

Maximizes stability and balance over mobility
Arms are in high-guard
Feet are out-toes and spread wide
Independent steps are taken

37
Q

Characteristics of proficiency walking:

A 
Trading stability for mobility 
Stride length increases 
Base of support is reduced 
Pelvis is roasted 
Opposition (arms to legs) occurs
38
Q

Developmental changes in walking: Early childhood

A

By age 4, essential components of an advanced walk are present

39
Q

Developmental changes in walking: older adulthood

A 
Maximizing stability 
Out-toeing increases 
Stride length decreases 
Pelvic rotation decreases 
Speed decreases 
Objects are used as balance aids
40
Q

Rate limiters in later walking:

A

Any of the changes associated with the aging process can act as rate limiters
Most obvious, changes in structural constraints can influence walking
Rate limiters are strength (to support the body on the leg) and balance

41
Q

When does running occur?

A

Occurs 6-7 months after walking starts

42
Q

Running is defined by?

A

50% phasing between the legs

Flight phase followed by single support

43
Q

Early Running:

A 
Stability over mobility 
Return of old behaviours 
Arms in high guard 
Limited range of motion 
Short stride length 
Little rotation
44
Q

Proficient running:

A 
Less stability, more mobility
Increased stride length 
Planar movement 
Narrow base of support 
Trunk rotation 
Opposition
45
Q

Developmental changes of Running: Early Running

A

As children grow, qualitative changes in running patterns

Progressed physical growth and maturation, generally result in improved quantitative measures of running

46
Q

Developmental changes of Running: Later Running

A

Patterns help increase stability and balance
Decreases appear in: stride length, range of motion, # of strides, speed
Rate controllers: balance and strength

47
Q

Rate controllers in later running:

A

Running required greater generation of force and ability to balance
Smaller changes in constraints can affect later running
An individual may have the ability to run, but may not have the opportunity to do so, or chooses not to

48
Q

Jump:

A

person propels self off ground with one or two feet; lands on two feet

49
Q

Hop?

A

Hop: person propels self off ground with one foot; lands on same foot

50
Q

Leap:

A

Leap: Person proels self off ground with one foot, extends flight period, and lands on opposite foot

51
Q

When does jumping begin?

A

Children often begin simple jumping before age 2

52
Q

Early Jumping:

A 
People can perform either vertical or horizontal (standing long) jump 
Early Characteristics:
Jumping only vertically 
One-foot takeoff or landing 
No or limited preparatory movements
53
Q

Proficient Jumping:

A

preparatory crouch maximizes takeoff force
Both feet leave ground at the same time
Arm swing used during jump
Vertical jump: force is directed downward ; body is extended
Horizontal jump: force is directed down and backward; knees are flexed during flight

54
Q

Developmental changes of jumping:

A

Continuous growth in body size and strength contribute to quantitative improvements
It is not guaranteed that very child will eventually master jumping

55
Q

Rate limiters for Jumping:

A

developmental of enough force to bring own body into the air from a still position

56
Q

What level of difficulty is a standing long jump?

A

6- standing long jump

57
Q

What level of difficulty is a running long jump?

A

7

58
Q

When does hopping start?

A

After jumping

59
Q

Early characteristics of hoping:

A

Support leg is lifted rather than used to project body
Arms are inactive
Swing leg is held rigidly in front of the body

60
Q

Proficient hopping:

A

Swing leg leads hip and moves through full range of motion
Support eg extends fully at hip
Oppositional arm movement generates force
Support leg is flexed on landing

61
Q

Developmental changes in Hopping:

A

Few children under 3 can hop repeatedly
Adaptations of the neuromuscular system that moderates the force of landing
This is due (at least in part) to an interaction of the individual constraints in the body, and within the framework of the principles of motion

62
Q

Rate controllers in hopping:

A

Depends on the postural systems ability to balance the body on one limb for a succession of hops
Ability to generate enough force to lift the body with one limb, recover and quickly generate enough force to hop again

63
Q

What do Galloping, sliding and skipping involve?

A

A combination of stepping, hopping and leaping

64
Q

Gallop and slides are?

A

Asymmetric

65
Q

Gallop?

A

forward step on one foot and leap with the other

66
Q

Slide?

A

sideways step with one foot, lead with the other

67
Q

Skip?

A

Symmetric, alternating step hops on one foot then one on the other

68
Q

Early Galloping, sliding, skipping:

A

The arms are no longer needed for balance
In skipping, the arms swing rhythmically in opposition to the legs and provide momentum
Child can use the arms for another purpose during galloping and sliding such as clapping

69
Q

Developmental changes in Galloping, sliding, skipping:

A

galloping is the first to emerge (around 2-3 years old)
sliding comes next
skipping is usually last to emerge (around 4-7 years old)

70
Q

Rate limiters for Galloping, sliding, skipping:

A

coordination
