GAIT--Knee Flashcards
1
Q
Put in knee motion in sagittal plane chart from Notability!!!!
A
see chart
2
Q
Knee motion sag. plane
IC
A
- motion== neutral
- quantity==neutral
3
Q
Knee motion sag plane
LR
A
- motion== flexing
- quanitity== 0-20deg
4
Q
Knee motion sag. plane
MSt
A
- motion== EXT
- quantity== 20-0deg
5
Q
Knee motion sag plane
TSt
A
- Motion== Holding
- Quantity== Neutral
6
Q
Knee motion Sag plane
PSw
A
- Motion== flexing
- quant== 0-40deg
7
Q
Knee motion sag plane
ISw
A
- Motion== Flexing
- quant== 40-60/70deg
8
Q
Knee motion sag plane
MSw
A
- motion== EXT
- quant== 60/70– 30deg
9
Q
knee motion sag plane
TSw
A
- Motion== EXT to FULL EXT
- quant== 30–0deg (neutral)
10
Q
Knee Flex Contracture
Step length==
A
DECd ipsilateral step length
11
Q
Knee flex contracture
Cadence
A
- No change UNLESS pt makes effort to maintain velocity
- this req’s quicker steps to make up for step length
12
Q
knee flex contracture
Velocity
A
- DECd due to less distance covered w/ ea step/stride
13
Q
Knee flex contracture
Stride Length
A
- Shortened stride UNLESS Contralat. limb compensates w/ longer step
14
Q
GRF @ IC
*NOTE: knee ext in TSw created by momentum of limb
A
- IC—> GRF
- ANT to knee ==== EXT moment
- Quads act minimally to stabilize knee & control momentum
15
Q
GRF @ LR
A
- GRF shifts from ANT @ IC to POST @ LR as HAT continues forward over flexed foot
- === External knee FLEX moment
16
Q
Quads activity in LR
A
-
External knee flex moment OPPOSED by Quad activity as an Internal knee EXT moment
-
ESP Vasti muscles!!!
- Mostly VL
- NOTE: rec fem only in SWING
-
ESP Vasti muscles!!!
17
Q
Hamstrings in LR
A
NONE
- undesired
-
could cause excess FLEX or Jt compression
-
HS and Quads @ same time===co-contraction==jt. loading
- == lig injury, meniscus injury, OA
-
HS and Quads @ same time===co-contraction==jt. loading
18
Q
GRF during Stance
LR
Gastroc
A
- despite being 2jt mm====> gastroc rel. silent @ LR
- Soleus helps to control tibia advancing forward
19
Q
PF Spasticity
LR–> MSt
A
- patho. gait pattern often seen in pts post-CVA
- spastic PFs===knee hyperext
- == Extensor Thrust
- As limb loads—> excess PF spasticity drives tibia POST
- spastic PFs===knee hyperext
20
Q
Knee Discomfort in MSt
3 Factors:
A
- Contralat limb is in swing, therefore 100% of WB occurs on involved limb
* HAT creates rel. ADD moment
- Contralat limb is in swing, therefore 100% of WB occurs on involved limb
- Transverse plane rotation b/w tibia and femoral condyles
-
MAY see Varus Thrust as degenerated medial compartment approximates
* == Lat. tension (stretching)
-
MAY see Varus Thrust as degenerated medial compartment approximates
21
Q
Knee ROM during gait
MOST during where
A
SWING
*indiv. tries to shorten limb for clearance
