closed kinetic chain

Answer 2

stance phase

Question 3

open kinetic chain

Answer 3

swing phase

Question 4

this phase occurs during the weight bearing portion of the gait cycle

takes place between heel strike and toe off of the foot we are observing during a gait cycle

Answer 4

stance phase

Question 5

this phase occurs during the non weight bearing portion of the gait cycle

takes place between toe off and heel strike of the foot

Answer 5

swing phase

Question 6

name this period of the stance phase?

occurs between the heel strike of the foot whose gait cycle we are observing and toe off of the opposite foot

Answer 6

contact period

Question 7

directly follows the contact period

begins after toe off of the opposite foot

ends with heel lift of the foot we are observing in the gait cycle

Answer 7

midstance period

Question 8

name this period of the stance phase?

last part of the stance phase

begins with heel lift of the same foot
