Q

What does Terminal Swing (period) begin and end with?

A

Tibia Vertical–> Initial Contact

17
Q

What occurs during Terminal Swing?

A
  • Knee extends

- Limb prepares to contact the ground for IC

18
Q

What are the 3 functional tasks that occur during the gait cycle?

A
  1. Weight Acceptance
  2. Single Limb Support
  3. Swing Limb Advancement
19
Q

Which functional tasks occur during the stance phase?

A
  1. Weight Acceptance

2. Single Limb Support

20
Q

Which functional tasks occur during the swing phase?

A

Limb Advancement

21
Q

What are the critical events that occur during weight acceptance?

A
  • Weight rapidly loaded onto outstretched limb
  • Hip stability
  • Controlled knee flexion for shock absorption
  • Controlled ankle PF
  • Both feet are in contact with the floor
22
Q

What critical events occur during single limb support?

A
  • Body progresses over a single-stable limb
  • Weight transfers over metatarsal heads and heel comes off the ground
  • Controlled ankle DF with heel rise
  • Trailing Limb posture
23
Q

What occurs during single limb support?

A
  • Limb is unloaded and comes off the ground

- Limb moves from behind to in front of body

24
Q

What happens at the knee and ankle during Pre-Swing?

A
  • Passive knee extension to 40 degrees

- Rapid ankle PF

25
Q

A

Initial Swing

26
Q

When does maximum hip flexion occur?

A

Mid swing

27
Q

31
Q

When does the pelvis rotate forward?

A

32
Q

When does the opposite swing leg pelvis drop down? By how much?

A
  • During weight acceptance

- 3-4%

33
Q

When does the pelvis rotate in a clockwise direction?

A

During Terminal stance

34
Q

A

Right Toe off

35
Q

When does peak hip extension occur?

A

Opposite IC

36
Q

When does peak knee extension occur?

A

Terminal stance and prior to IC
