Q

What is antalgic gait

A

Painful gate there is a quick step on the good side they do not want to wait shift decreased step length decrease swing phase of normal leg

32
Q

What is arthro-genic gate

A

A stiff joint it may have to raise pelvis to clear foot if the knee is fused we could have recurvatum we decrease the step length and cadence

33
Q

What is a Trendelenburg gait

A

If we have weak hip abductors short step length decreased gait velocity

34
Q

What is a Trendelenburg lurch

A

Lim too involved side when that side is in stance to shorten the muscles on the involve side

35
Q

What is vaulting

A

Tigger gate pronounced plantarflexion in normal leg done sometimes to clear a prosthesis on the other side can also be from tight gastroc Solias

36
Q

When would a person circumduct the leg

A

When one leg is longer when the nearest fused ankle problems hip flexor weakness

37
Q

What is a drop foot gate

A

The toes hit first initial contact if it is severe more knee flexion all affected side or lean to opposite side to hike the hip

38
Q

What is ataxic gait

A

It is cerebellar wide stance staggering on steady trunk anterior posterior jerking and cannot walk with a small base of support

39
Q

What is equinas gate

A

Toe walking for plantarflexion all the time walk on the lateral part of the foot common in children and must surgically release the tendons

40
Q

What is a scissors gate

A

Add duction of the thighs spastic flexed at the trunk internally rotated short step length

41
Q

What is a crouch gait

A

Similar to scissors but with very flexed knees they are very contracted in their trunk is very flexed

42
Q

What is a hemiparetic gate

A

Extended internally rotated and circumducted poor quad function sometimes add shoulder flexion elbow flexion and a closed fist they have severe knee extension and the tibia never goes over the fight

43
Q

What is classic Parkinson gate

A

Tremors rigidity very stiff very short steps shuffling bradykinesia bradykinesia

44
Q

What is festination Parkinson gate

A

Even smaller steps than the classic and more difficulty turning

45
Q

When are no the extensors active

A

During terminal stance the restraint to stabilize the knee is done by calf muscles and also biceps femoris to short head to prevent hyperextension

46
Q

What is happening at the hip at initial contact

A

20° of flexion and the hip are active

47
Q

What is happening at the knee at initial contact

A

5° of flexion and the quadriceps are active

48
Q

What is happening at the ankle at initial contact

A

0° and it is due to the pretibial’s

49
Q

What is happening at the hip in loading response

A

20° of flexion and the extensors and abductor’s are active

50
Q

What is happening at the knee at loading response

A

51
Q

What is happening at the ankle in loading response

A

5° of plantar flexion and the pretibial’s are active

52
Q

What are the critical events in loading response

A

Hip stability controlled knee flexion and control plantarflexion

53
Q

What is happening at the hip in mid stance

A

0° and the abductors are active

54
Q

What is happening at the knee at mid stance

A

5° of flexion and initially the quadriceps are active but then there is no activity
