4 point gait pattern

A

Slowest but safest because 3/4 point are always in contact with the ground

ex. right crutch, left leg, left crutch, right leg

16
Q

Pain on R leg

A

= shorter stance phase on R - normal step length (pain does not occur during swing phase

= shorter swing phase/step length on L

17
Q

Normal step length

A

28 in

normal stride length = 28x2 so 56 in

18
Q

Average cadence gait

19
Q

Lack of ankle DF on R =

A

early heel rise which abbreviates R stance phase = shortens contralateral L step length

20

reflexive spastic BOWEL

21
Q

Below S2 =

A

flaccid BOWEL

22
Q

Above T12

A

Spastic bladder
