Gait 3 Flashcards
midstance: ankle GRF
anterior
What does GRF anterior to the ankle at mid stance allow?
DF
midstance: knee GRF
centered
midstance: hip GRF
centered
midstance: ankle movement
slight PF (3˚) to slight DF (5˚)
midstance: knee movement
neutral (0-5˚ flexion)
midstance: hip movement
slight flexion
midstance: ankle muscles and actions
- gastroc
- eccentric
midstance: knee muscles and actions
- quads
- concentric
midstance: hip muscles and actions
- hip ABD
- isometric
What does eccentric contraction of gastrocs do at mid stance?
prevents excessive tibial translation
function of quad concentric contraction at knee
stabilizes the knee
midstance: ABD contraction function
prevents Trendelenburg gait pattern
terminal stance =
heel off
terminal stance: ankle GRF
anterior to ankle
