Gait part 4 Flashcards
what are compensations to pain on limb?
antalgic gait lateral trunk lean decreased stance on that limb decreased step length on contralateral limb decreased speed
what causes inadequate foot clearance in swing?
weak DF, hip flex, knee flex
compensations to inadeuqate foot clearance in swing
circumduction, hip hike, vaulting
what does a trendelenburg gait cause on leg and stability?
shortens leg during swing
decreases single leg stability
what occurs as a result of excessive ankle PF?
decreased shock absorption
decreased foot clearance
decreased forward progression of lower leg
what is a compensation of excessive ankle PF?
rotate trunk backward
what occurs as a result of DF weakness?
foot slap
decreased shock absorption
what occurs as a result of heel off?
secondary to excessive PF
decreased BOS
increased pressure on met heads
what occurs as a result of no heel off?
weak PF
decreased step length on contralateral limb
limits forward progression
limits knee flexion during swing
what occurs as a result of limited knee flexion?
weakness in quads
decreased forward progression
decreased shock absorption
recurvatum
what is the compensation made for limited knee flexion?
circumduction
what occurs as a result of knee extension thrust?
weakness in quads
stretch on posterior capsule
decreased shock absorption
decreased forward progression
what occurs during a wobble?
knee flexion and extension, due to decreased motor control
what occurs during excessive hip flexion
increased demand on hip and knee ext
decreased single leg stability
decreased step length on contralateral limb
what occurs during excessive knee flexion
increased demand on quads, hip extensors, and PF
decreased step length
if you have excessive knee flexion, what can this compensation be due to?
decreased foot clearance during swing
