GAIT again Flashcards
1
Q
increased plantar flexion in midswing can cause
A
toe drag
increased hip/knee flexion
1
Q
increased plantar flexion at ankle can affect what phases of gait?
A
all!
* contracture or spasticity
* weak quads (decreasing
demand)
* impaired proprioception
* ankle pain/effusion
* Weak pretibials
* Lack of DF control (TSw)
2
Q
excessive plantar flexion during terminal swing will cause
A
hip and knee compensation to lift foot
*no toe drag at 15 degrees of PF
BUT, foot is positioned poorly for IC
