79
Q

Pathological Gait:
Most apparent during initial contact through the stance phase of gait
- The affected knee must be locked in
hyperextension at or preceding initial contact by compensatory activity of the gluteus maximus extending the femur and the soleus which extends the tibia
- Repetitive hyperextension of the knee results in stretching of the ligaments and capsule of the
knee and resultant recurvatum of the knee
during the stance phase

Pathological Gait:
Ankle dorsiflexion weakness
