Q

Gait and MM activity:
IC

Cross-examine w/ MSPT I

A
  • DFs–> DF during heel strike & prep to lower foot into LR
  • Quads–> knee EXT
  • HS’s–> stabilize knee & prevent hyperEXT
  • Hip Exts + ABDs–> contract to stabilize trunk and pelvis over leg

Q

Gait and MM Activity:
LR

Cross-examine w/ MSPT I

A
  • DFs–> Ecc. lowering foot towrds ground

A
  • PFs–> @ peak activity as foot “toes off” from ground
  • HS’s–> Concentrically flex to prep swing + momentum of body here

30
Q

A
  • DFs–> conc to maintain DF
  • Hip/Knee MIN since momentum adv’s limb
32
Q
