Gate Flashcards
during gate pelvis on swing side:
tilts inferiorly (in coronal plane)
contraction of _______ prevents excessive pelvic tilt during swing phase
Hip ABductors
Glut Med
Glut Min
Hip ABductor contraction brings:
ilium closer to greater trochanter of femur
proximal closer to distal attachment
trendelenburg Sign
sagging of the uninjured limb when standing on the weak limb
Trendelenburg gate
sagging of the uninjured limb during swing phase of gate
adduction of the affected hip during weight bearing and locomotion
displacement of trunk toward affected side during locomation
the trunk is displaced toward:
the side of weakness
because:
in order to shift the COG, clear the ground, and propel the body forward
COMPENSATION for lack of muscular support

Foot Flat is
initial contact with ground is forefoot and the foot is plantarflexed and there is lose of heel strike
Drop Foot is during:
