Q

At midstance, what should the STJ be doing?

A

Pronated through a majority of this phase, but will begin supinating towards neutral towards the end. This converts the foot to a rigid lever for toe off, a process called resupination

Q

At midstance, what should the midfoot be doing?

Q

At heel lift, what should the ankle be doing?

A

Plantarflexing

17
Q

At heel lift, what should the STJ be doing?

A

In a neutral position, moving towards re-supination to prepare for toe off

18
Q

At heel lift, what should the midfoot be doing?

A

Calcaneocuboid joint is locked

19
Q

At heel lift, what should the plantar fascia be doing?

A

Drawn tight to create the windlass effect

20
Q

At toe off, what should the hip be doing?

A

Extending and preparing to flex through swing phase

21
Q

At toe off, what should the knee/lower leg be doing?

A

Knee is flexing and the lower leg is externally rotating

22
Q

At toe off, what should the ankle be doing?

A

In a plantarflexed position, but dorsiflexing for ground clearance and to prepare for heel lift

23
Q

At toe off, what should the midtarsal joint be doing?

A

The oblique midtarsal joint should be supinated

24
Q

At toe off, what should the first ray be doing?

A

Plantarflexing to maintain ground contact

25
Q

During swing phase, what should the hip be doing?

A

Hip on swing side rises slightly to help with ground clearance. Pelvis will also rotate forward on the side of the swing leg

26
Q

During swing phase, what should the knee be doing?

A

Flexing for ground clearance

27
Q

During swing phase, what should the ankle be doing?

A

Dorsiflexing for ground cleareance

28
Q

During swing phase, what should the STJ and midtarsal joints be doing?

A

Both are pronated at midswing. Just before HS the STJ supinates and the midtarsal joint inverts about its longitudinal axis
