Gait Flashcards
Where is COM in adult
Slightly anterior to s2
What is vertical pelvic shift
Up and down movement. One inch higher at midstance and one inch lower and initial contact so 2 point deviation.
What is lateral pelvic shift
Increases if feet are further apart. Relative to ADD and WB limb, decreases speed.trendelenberg gait.
When does the limb eleongate and shorten
Elongates forward limb during DS. elongates rear limb to lengthen step in single
Why does the body not fully align itself over the foot during walking?
Lose too much energy
When is balance most stable
Lowest point of com. Double support time. Energy generation.
When is balance least stable
At the highest point of com. Midstance or single leg time. Energy absorption.
What are the 3 elements of postural control
Visual, vestibular, proprioceptive
What is kinematics
Range of motion cadence step speed distance
What is kinetics
Forces of gate such as muscle or ground forces
At what phase of gate does the center of mass lower
Double support in which the body prepares to be an energy generation mode
When does the center of mass Rise in gait
During single support in which energy absorption is occurring
What is a heel rocker
Initial contact foot rolls into plantarflexion
What is an ankle rocker
During loading response the tibia Rowles forward with passive dorsiflexion. Sold us and gastroc‘s is eccentric reallyhelp or nay not cave-in
What is a forefoot rocker
During terminal stance the gastroc decelerates the tibia initially this is the highest torque demand in gait cycle
When is their maximum supination
Preswing
What happens if we have too much pronation
Bunions
What happens with femoral anteversion
Toe in excessive pronation I loading response terminal stance and pre-suing because internally rotated
What is femoral retroversion
Toes out we may have to use the hip to Lyft to clear the toe
What happens with tibial torsion
Changes in thigh and foot angle at mid stance we can break down at the knee or foot
What happens with pronated flat feet
Decrease in the ability to absorb energy of the foot painful
How much MTP extension do we need for gait
30-60°
What happens if we have a loss of motion at the first MTP joint
Spin calluses extern all rotation of the hip to get off of the big toe
What walking speed do we need for ambulation and what do we need to safely cross the street
0.8 to 1.2 for ambulation and 1.2 to 1.4 to safely cross the street
At what point in gates are we least stable
Mid stance think this is why you get down in football
What are 4tasks to make gate functional
Balance energy generation energy absorption foot patterns
What is the most demanding tasks in the gate cycle
Maintaining stability during weight acceptance
What is positive work
Concentrix force generating muscle center of mass fall time is acceleration
What is negative work
Eccentric force absorbing center of mass rise time deceleration deceleration
What is the physiological cost index
Walking heart rate minus resting heart rate divided by average speed
