dorsiflexion paralysis (nothing to control)
toe down instead of heel strike - 2/2
PF spasticity
PF contracture
weak DF
dorsiflexion paralysis
leg length
hindfoot pain
clawing of the toe 2/2
toe flexor spasticity
postive suppor reflex
what is the positive support reflex
the first postural reflex to develop and is present by 3 to 4 months of age
When the baby is placed in vertical suspension with the feet touching the mat, the baby will extend the legs and attempts to support their weight while being balanced by the examiner.
heel lift during midstance 2/2
lack of DF range

flexor withdrawal reflex
LE synergy pattern
flexor withdrawal reflex
reflex that protects the body from damaging stimuli by automatically withdrawing a limb from a potential threat
insufficient hip flexion at initial contact
weak hip flexors
hip flexion paralysis
hip ext spas
lack of flex ROM
insufficient hip ext at stance
hip flex contracture
lower extremity flexor synergy
insufficient hip ext ROM
circumduction during swing
compensation for weak:
- DF
- hip flexors
- knee flex (hamstring)
hip hiking during swing
compensation for:
- weak DF
- knee flexors
- extensor LE synergy
exaggerated hip flex during swing
LE flexor synergy
comp for lack of DF
what happens to the base of support as cadance increased
the BOS gets smaller
what is the average cadence for an adult
110- 120 steps per min
double support time relationship with speed of walking
inverse
double support increased as cadence decreases
what is double step
a gait pattern in which alternate steps are of a different length or at a different rate
waddling gait is characterized by
exaggerated lateral trunk movements and hip elevation.
The abnormal gait is caused by gluteus medius weakness and is often seen with progressive muscular dystrophy.
From heel strike throughout the loading response - what are the DF doing
works eccentrically to control the speed of the forefoot lowering to the ground.
The stance phase of a normal gait pattern is approximately ___ of the gait cycle
60%
what is genu recurvatum
a knee joint deformity that causes the knee to bend backward
hyperextension of the knee
quadratus lumborum orgin
iliolumbar ligament and the iliac crest
quadratus lumborum insertion
inferior border of the last rib and the transverse processes of the upper four lumbar vertebrae
