Gait Deviations Flashcards
Foot slap due to
Weak dorsiflexors
Toe down at heel strike due to
Tight PF
Weak DF
Leg length discrepancy
Hindfoot pain
Claw toe due to
Toe flexor spasticity
Positive support reflex
Heel lift during midstance due to
Plantar flexion spasticity
Insufficient DF range
No toe off due to
Forefoot/toe pain
Weak plantar flexors
Insufficient plantar flexion range
Extra knee flexion at contact due to
Weak quads
Hamstring spasticity
Hyperextension in stance due to
compensation for weak quads
PF contracture
Extra knee flexion at terminal stance
knee flexion contracture
Hip flexion contracture
Insufficient flexion with swing due to
Knee effusion
Quads extension spasticity
PF spasticity
