neutral position attained

62
Q

sub-talar jt. during Late mid stance -> toe off?

A

supinated at 2-3 deg. at heel off

63

force along the z axis

verticle force measured at heel strike and throughout the stance phase

64

A

along the x axis (M-L) and y axes (A-P)

represents the medial to lateral and anterior to medial stability

65
Q

which force is the highest in normal gait cycle?

A

impact force

66
Q

injured superior gluteal nerve will cause what?

A

trendelenburg sign:

stance leg is injured

67
Q

overpronation is when

A

the foot rolls more than 15 deg. inward and toe off occurs mostly over the big toe

68
Q

oversupination is when the foot

A

fails to roll inwards during initial loading response

69
Q

stappage gait occurs when which nerve is damaged?

A

common fibular nerve > paralysis of dorsiflexors and evertors

70
Q

steppage gate is clinically observed by?

A

no heel strike but instead there is toe strike

71
Q

foot slap is when there is damage to which nerve?

A

deep fibular nerve > paralysis of just dorsiflexors not the evertors which can slightly evert the foot

72
Q

which part of the gait cycle is affected when there is damage to the superior gluteal nerve?

A

single leg stance phase

73
Q

ground reaction forces are forces along

A

z axis. these are the highest forces

74
Q

which a-p and p-a forces are the ______ largest forces and are along the ____ axes?

75
Q

Describe the ankle osteokinematics during the normal walking gait

A

At initial contact, the ankle is in neutral. The ankle then plantar flexes slightly during the loading response. As the body weight shifts during midstance the ankle returns to neutral at mid midstance. As the other leg come forward to make ground contact during late midstance the ankle maximally dorsiflexes. The ankle then begins to plantar flex to propel the step and reaches maximum dorsiflexion at toe off. It returns to neutral as the swing phase begins.

76
Q

Which of the following muscles are responsible for negative rotation about the x-axis in the tibiofemoral joint?

A

rectus femoris

77
Q

max supination occurs at

A

toe off os opposite leg
