GAIT 2 Flashcards
GRF
force applied to foot by during stance phase
What causes internal moments/forces?
muscles/ligaments/joint capsules
these counteract external forces
external moments (rotation around an axis)
created by gravity, inertia, GRF, in relation to joint center
Power generation
muscles shortening (concentric contraction)
PUSH
power absorption
muscles lengthening (eccentric contraction) CUSH
How does center of pressure change through gait?
IC: posterior lateral heel
LR: through lateral midfoot
TS: medially across ball of foot
Pre-swing: 1 and 2nd toes
internal moments in initial contact
Hip EXT, Knee FLX, Ankle DF
Internal moments in laoding response
- Hip EXT, Knee EXT, Ankle DF
Internal moments in midstance
Hip FLX, Knee FLX, Ankle PF
internal moments in terminal stance
- Hip FLX, Knee FLX, Ankle PF
internal moments in pre-swing
Hip FLX, Knee EXT, Ankle PF
What is the goal of gait metabolically?
efficiency of gait to use as little energy as possible
oxygen consumption of walking for 20-30 year olds
32%
oxygen consumption for walking for 75 year olds or chronically medically ill
48%
what increases oxygen consumption?
pain
Other aspects of metabolic energy costs of gait
- Sum of potential energy and kinetic energy (translational and rotational)
- Limbs contribute more total energy than HAT
- Power generation and absorption – the balance of concentric and eccentric
forces produce movement of segments and also control speed of moment
fulcrum is at the ___during initial contact to loading response
heel is rocker (calcaneal inversion to calcaneal eversion)
fulcrum is at the ___during loading response to terminal stance
ankle is rocker
Terminal Stance (heel off) with leg rotating over _____-
forefoot is rocker
* Increased MTP extension
fulcrum is the ____ at preswing
toe (increased toe extension)
adductor moment of head, arms and trunk is counteracted by hip ______
abductors (minimize movement at stance leg) *prevent contralateral hip drop
- Slight trunk flexion at
initial contact
* HAT acceleration is counteracted by hip and back extensors
slight trunk extension during
SLS
Pelvic and trunk motion: sagittal plane
sinusoidal pattern up and down 4-5 cm with each step
step forward: ____rotation of pelvis
anterior rotation with IC
terminal stance/preswing-= posterior rotation
with IC, sinusoidal pattern is (low/high) and then (low/high) at midstance
low at IC, high at midstance
SLIDE 13
erector spinae are most active during
IC (heel strike) and preswing (toe off)
abdominal muscles are most active during
active low and variable, related to lateral trunk movement
What is postural righting?
dynamic process of re-alignment when changing postures
head stability is the process of
maintaining equilibrium orientation of head in space
Head stability controls orientation of
sensory receptors (vision, vestibular)
also facilitates gaze stability
head motion in sagittal plane is
7-12 degrees
arm swinging helps counterbalance ____ and _____body rotation
the swinging leg
decelerate body rotation
shoulder ROM during gait
30 deg total (6 deg FLX, 24 deg EXT)
elbow ROM during gait
20-45 degrees
SLIDE 19
Vertical work is _____ and related to _____during stair gait
increased vertical work
related to gravity and step/stair height
