27
Q

What are the ROM of the hip and why are they needed? (Flex/ext)

A

Hip (~40°)

  1. Flexion: 25° - Step length (TSw)
  2. Extension :20° - Trailing limb (TSt)
28
Q

What are the ROM of the knee and why are they needed? (Flex/ext)

A

Knee (~60°)

  1. Flexion: 60° - Foot clearance (ISw)
  2. Extension: 0° - Step length (TSw/IC)
29
Q

What are the ROM of the ankle and why are they needed? (Flex/ext)

A

Ankle (~30°)

  1. Plantarflexion: 20° - Toe off (PSw)
  2. Dorsiflexion: 10° - Tibial Advancement (TSt)
30
Q

CoM is lowest at midpoint of both periods of what?

A

Double-limb support (5% and 55%)

31
Q

CoM is highest at midpoint of what periods?

A

Both periods of single limb support (30% and 80%)

32
Q

What occurs in frontal plane at foot and ankle at initial contact?

A

Slight inversion of the hindfoot

33
Q

What occurs in frontal plane at foot and ankle at LR - MSt?

A

eversion of the hindfoot
◦ Pronation (flexible foot position for foot to adapt to surface and load)
◦ Forefoot follows hindfoot position

34
Q

What occurs in frontal plane at foot and ankle at TSt - PSw?

A

Inversion

◦ Resupination! (rigid lever for stable base)

35
Q

What occurs in frontal plane at foot and ankle at swing phase?

A

Variable

36
Q

What occurs in frontal plane at knee during gait?

A

Not much movement with normal gait

◦ Total movement around 5-10°

37
Q

What occurs in the frontal plane at the hip and pelvis during IC?

A

neutral ab/duction

38
Q

What occurs in the frontal plane at the hip and pelvis during LR - MSt?

A

◦ Contralateral hip drop

39
Q

What occurs in the frontal plane at the hip and pelvis during MSt-TSt?

A
increased adduction (up to 15°)
◦	Weight shift over stance limb
40
Q

What occurs in horizontal plane at hip during gait?

A

o Forward rotation of the pelvis on the stance limb occurs with hip flexion during swing
o Increases greater step length than that of hip flexion alone

45
Q
Gait deviation: Decrease Great toe extension
What phase?
What plane?
What would you observe?
What could be cause?
What would result be?
A
  • Phase: TSt, PSw
  • Plane: Sagittal
  • Observation: Patient does not complete forefoot rocker and ends stance phase noticeably early
  • Cause: Joint hypomobility (hallux rigidus), pain, bone spur, gouty arthritis, plantar fasciitis
  • Result: decreased push off, shortened stance time
46
Q
Gait deviation: Steppage Gait/Increased Knee Flexion
What phase?
What plane?
What would you observe?
What could be cause?
What would result be?
A
  • Phase: Swing phase
  • Plane: Sagittal
  • Observation: Increased hip and knee flexion with loss of ankle DF
  • Causes: foot drop/nerve disorder, polyneuropathy, equinus deformity
  • Result: prolonged swing phase, fall risk, decreased efficiency
47
Q
Gait deviation: Foot Flat Contact
What phase?
What plane?
What would you observe?
What could be cause?
What would result be?
A
  • Phase: IC
  • Plane: Sagittal
  • Observation: mid foot or forefoot makes first contact with ground instead of heel
  • Cause: Excessive knee flexion in late swing, weak/impaired DF
  • Result: absent heel rocker (can have normal ankle rocker)
48
Q
Gait deviation: Circumduction
What phase?
What plane?
What would you observe?
What could be cause?
What would result be?
A
  • Phase: Swing
  • Plane: Frontal
  • Observation: lateral whipping motion of the limb during swing at the hip
  • Cause: impaired knee flexion ROM, impaired ankle DF ROM
  • Result: Compensation for failure to functionally shorten the limb during swing, increased fall risk
49
Q
Gait deviation: Increased lumbar lordosis
What phase?
What plane?
What would you observe?
What could be cause?
What would result be?
A
  • Phase: TSt
  • Plane: Sagittal
  • Observation: increased lumbar lordosis during late stance phase
  • Cause: Hip flexor contracture, Hip OA
  • Result: Lack of hip extension in terminal stance is compensated for by increased lordosis in the spine
