The goal of gait training is to
teach patient to use as little energy as possible
32% oxygen consumption in healthy 20-30y/o
48% oxygen consumption in 75y/o or person with medical condition
T or F, limbs contribute more to total energy during walking than head and trunk
True
At the initial contact -> loading response phase, where is the fulcrum/rocker?
Fulrum/rocker at the heel
The calcaneous moves from inversion to eversion
During loading response to terminal stance, what structure is the fulcrum/rocker?
ankle fulcrum
During terminal stance, where is the rocker/fulcrum?
leg rotates over forefoot
During pre-swing, what is the rocker/fulcrum?
Leg rotates over toes
How does the rocker/fulcrum of the foot move throughout gait?
Heel -> ankle -> forefoot -> toes

abductors
What kind of movement occurs in the sagittal plane during gait?
sinusoidal pattern up and down 4-5cm with eachstep
Where is the low point of the sinusoidal pattern
low at initial contact
high at mid-stance
