Gait Analysis Flashcards
The beginning of the stance phase when the heel or another part of the foot contacts the ground.
Initial Contact
he portion of the stance phase from immediately after the initial contact until the contralateral extremity leaves the ground.
LOADING RESPONSE
The portion of the stance phase that begins when the contralateral extremity leaves the ground and ends when the body is directly over the supporting limb.
Mid stance
The portion of the stance phase from midstance to a point just prior to initial contact of the contralateral extremity.
TERMINAL STANCE
The portion of stance from the initial contact of the contralateral extremity to just prior to the liftoff of the reference extremity. This portion includes toe-off.
PRE-SWING
The portion of swing from the point when the reference extremity leaves the ground to maximal knee flexion of the same extremity.
SWING PHASE:
INITIAL SWING
The portion of swing phase from the maximum knee flexion of the reference extremity to a vertical tibial position.
SWING PHASE:
MID-SWING
The portion of swing phase from a vertical of the tibia of the reference extremity to just prior to initial contact.
SWING PHASE:
TERMINAL SWING
