gait cycle Flashcards
what percent is swing phase
40
what percent is stance phase
60%
what percent is in single limb support
40
what percent double limb support
20
stride/length
distance from the point of heel strike of one extremity to the point of heel strike of the same extremity.
two steps, a right and left step.
step length
distance of heel strike of one extremity to the point of heel strike of the opposite extremity.
gait cycle
heel contact until heel contact of the same foot
single limb support is during…
mid stance
terminal stance
double limb support is when…
initial contact
loading response
preswing
cadence
steps per minute
active mms intial contact
ant. tib, dorsiflexors, ankle
positions foot to begin weight acceptance
mms active loading response
quads, ant.tib
shock absorbtion, weight bearing, stability
mms active midstance
glut med, gastroc
frwd progression, limb stability
mms active terminal stance
gastroc
propels frwd
pronation happens…
loading response
shock absorbtion
suppination happens…
terminal stance
post. tib, er
kinetic
mms and soft tissues that support movement
kinematic
describes movement
i.e., 5 degrees dorsi flx
pre swing
double limb support
preposition for swing
most plantar flx
iliopsoas
intial swing
clear geound, prep for initial contact
highest degree of knee flx
midswing
ant tib main mm
terminal swing
ant tib - concentric
hams - eccentric
causes of abnormal gait
deformity neuro impaired motor control sensory loss pain mm weakness
stroke pts tend to get…
UE tightness ( flx), LE ext, unilaterally
basal ganglia
amplifier for movement
hypertone mms
stretch, but more importantly strengthen
