Q

Ankle plantar flexion for normal gait

A

0-20 deg

17
Q

Tibialis anterior peak activity

A

After heel strike, eccentric lowering of foot into plantar flexion

18
Q

Gastroc-soleus peak activity

A

During late stance phase, concentric raising of the heel during toe off

19
Q

Quadriceps peak activity

A

Single support during early stance phase AND just before toe off to initiate swing phase

20
Q

Hamstrings peak activity

A

During late swing phase, assists decelerating unsupported limb

21
Q

What happens to base of support as cadence increases?

A

Distance decreases as cadence increases

22
Q

What is the avg base of support for an adult?

A

2-4 in

23
Q

What is avg cadence for an adult?

A

110-120 steps/min

24
Q

What is avg degree of toe out for an adult?

A

7 deg

25
Q

What is the purpose of pelvic rotation during gait?

A

Maintain balance and to regulate speed

26
Q

28
Q

29
Q

Antalgic gait

A

Protective gait pattern to avoid weight bearing on involved side, usually secondary to pain

30
Q

Ataxic gait

A

Staggering and unsteadiness, wide base of support and exaggerated movements

31
Q

Equine gait

A

High steps usually from overactivity of gastrocnemius

32
Q

Steppage gait

A

Feet and toes are lifted through hip and knee flexion to excessive heights, usually due to dorsiflexor weakness and foot slaps at initial contact

33
Q

Tabetic gait

A

High stepping ataxic gait pattern, feet slap ground
