KINES: Normal Gait Flashcards
define locomotion
body is transported from one place to another
explain how locomotion happens
translatory progression thought coordinated movements of hip, knee, ankle and trunk and UE
define gait
upright locomotion by means of walking, jogging, running
define walking
gait in upright bipedal form
define ambulation
for clinical setting - whether person can wall w or w/o external assistance
major tasks of gait
maintain support of hat, upright posture, balance
control foot trajectory
generation of forward velocity
absorption of energy from GRF
decrease forward velocity
comprises 60% of total gait cycle
stance phase
comprises 40% of total gait cycle
swing phase
what does stance phase mean
reference foot is is contact w ground
traditional phases of stance phase of gait
heel strike - foot flat - midstance - heel off - toe off
RLA phases of stance phase of gait
initial contact - loading response - midstance - terminal stance - pre-swing
what is swing phase
where reference foot is no in contact w the ground
traditional phases of swing phase of gait
acceleration - midswing - deceleration
RLA phases of swing phase of gait
initial swing - midswing - terminal swing
define gait cycle
from R initial contact to R initial contact
discuss the timing on contralateral limb
ipsi - initial contact
end of terminal stance
discuss the timing on contralateral limb
ipsi - loading respinse
pre swing
discuss the timing on contralateral limb
ipsi - midstance
midswing
discuss the timing on contralateral limb
ipsi - terminal stance
terminal swing - initial contact
discuss the timing on contralateral limb
ipsi - pre-swing
initial response to loading response
define stance time
during stance phase of one extremity
define single support time
only one extremity is on ground - 2 instances in one gait cycle
right mid to terminal and left mid to terminal
define double support time
when both feet are on the ground - twice in once cycle
prior to loading response - 22% of entire cycle
