When standing and walking. Where is the center of gravity
At approximately the upper sacrum anterior
The efforts applied by muscles during their actions are explained as
All of Above
The dysfunctional patterns of movement can best be characterized as
Connect to the principles of gait
When walking the eyes stay level while the head remains upright due to

During the normal gait cycle when does the stance phase take place
During about 60% of the cycle
During gait, if the person has both feet on the floor at the same time
That is normal part of gait called double stance
