Gait and Function Assessment of Other Systems Flashcards
Beginning of stance when heel or some other portion of the foot contacts the ground
Initial contact
Body weight rapidly loads onto lead limb from trailing limb
Loading response
Trunk continues forward progression relative to foot. Heel rises from ground and limb achieves trailing limb posture
Terminal stance
Body weight unloads from the reference limb and reference limb prepares for swing
Pre-swing
Starts when the reference foot lifts from the ground. Hip, knee, and ankle rapidly flex for clearance and advancement during this initial 1/3 of swing
Initial swing
Thigh continues to advance, knee gegins to extend, and ankle is achieving neutral posture
Mid swing
Knee achieves maximal extension and ankle remains at neutral in preparation for initial contact
Terminal swing
6 determinants of gait
pelvic rot in horizontal plane
pelvic tilt in frontal plane
early knee flexion
weight transfer from heel to flat foot
late knee flexion in last part of stance phase
lateral displacement of pelvis toward the stance limb
angle of foot placement with respect to line progression
foot angle
length of time that a person can stand upright in the parallel bars bearing weight on both extremities
Bilateral stance time
length of time that a person can stand in upright parallel bars bearing weight on the uninvolved extremity
Uninvolved stance time
length of time that a person can stand in upright parallel bars bearing weight on the involved extremity
Involved stance time
The rate at which an individual in the parallel bars can transfer weight from one extremity to the other
Dynamic weight transfer rate
Length of time required for an individual to walk the length the of the parallel bars
parallel bar amputation

Independent
Walks for exercise only
physiological walkers
relies on walking to some extent for home activities. requires assistance for some activities and ues a w/c
limited household walker
able to walk for all household activities w/o reliance on w/c
unlimited household walker
enters and leaves home independently and can ascend and descend a curb independently
most-limited community walker
independence in stair management
least-limited community walker
can accept crowds and uneven terrains
community walker
scoring in Functional Independence Measure for no helper(FIM)
5-7
no. of items in FIM
18
7 in FIM ( no helper)
Complete independence; walks a min of 150 ft c no AD
6 in FIM (no helper)
Modified independence; walks a minimum of 150 ft but uses AD
5 in FIM (no helper)
Exception; subject walks 50 ft indep c/s AD
scoring in Functional Independence Measure for helper(FIM)
1-5
5 in FIM (helper)
supervision; subject requires supervision, cueing, or coaxing
4 in FIM (helper)
minimal contact assistance; subject performs 75% of the locomotion effort
3 in FIM (helper)
moderate assistance; subject performs 50-74% of locomotion effort
2 in FIM (helper)
maximal assistance; subject performs 25-49% of locomotion effort
