Gait lecture info Flashcards
normal gait definition
translation of the human body from one point to another by way of bipedal motion
repetitious sequence of limb motion to move body while simultaneously maintaining stab
least muscular effort
3 approaches to viewing gate
- reciprocal floor contact patterns
- spatial temporal (time to get from A to B)
3 .fxnal sig of events in cycle
Stance phases
initial double limb stance
single limb support
terminal double limb stance
amount of time in stance phases
60% total
Initial DLS: 10%
SLS: 40%
Terminal DLS: 10%
amount of time in swing phases
40%
normal walking speed
3 mph, 1.3 m/s, or 80 m/min
-62% and 38%
As speed increases, DLS time ___ and SLS time ____
decreases, increases
stride duration
time to complete a stride
step duration
time to complete a step
Cadence
of steps/unit time: usually steps/minute
avg: 113 steps/min
males: 110-111, women: 115-117
cadence for running
180 steps/min
speed
cadence x step length
avg speed
80-82 meters/minute
264 feet/minute
4.4 feet/s
step length
from the heel of one foot to the heel of the other (think footprints in sand)
stride length
from the heel of one foot to the heel of the same foot (footprints in sand)
width of walking base
linear distance between one foot and the other (avg 3 in (1-5 inches))
degree of toe out
anglr of foot placement in relation to linear line of progression (avg = 7degrees)
average distance of clearance
1 cm
