lecture 24: anatomy of gait part 1 Flashcards
humans are bipedal with two major gaits, what are they
walking and running
what are the 2 phases of the walking gait cycle
stance phase
swing phase
which phase is longer in the walking cycle
stance phase
what is one walking cycle defined as
from heel strike to heel strike of same limb (1x stance, 1x swing)
what marks the begining of the total gait cycle
intial contact
what is the first aspect of the walking cycle
initial contact
what is the second event in the walking cycle
loading response
explain loading response
full plantar surface of the foot makes contact with the ground
what is the third event in the walking cycle
mid stance
what is mid stance
the body’s center of gravity is directly over the moving foot, before transferring to the supporting foot
what is the 4th even in the walking cycle
terminal stance
what is the 5th event in the walking cycle
preswing and begining of toe off
what event marks the end of stance pahse
toe off (pre swing)
initial contact also knwon as
heel strike
end of the stance phase is also known as
toe off
true or false: in the walking gait cycle, there are single (one foot on ground only) support phases only
false also double support (both feet) phases
what are the double support phases/events in the stance phsse
initial contact
loading response
preswing
what are the sing support phases/events in the stance phsse
mid stance
terminal stance
what are the 5 events of the stance phase in ordeer
initial contact/heel strike
loading response
midstance
terminal stance
preswing
what are the 3 events in the swing phase of gait
intial swing
mid swing
terminal swing
true or false, all the events in the swing face are single support
true
toe off markrs the begining of what event
initial swing
be able to understance gait cycle in motion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1o2-nXo3Js)
during the gait cycle, lower limb muscles must do what three things
propel the body forward by generating angular motions of the limb segments
support body weight (ie. resist external forces that produce unwanted torques at some of the lower limb joints)
all while miniminzing energy expenditure
the lower limbs propel the body forward by doing what
generating angular motions of the limb segments
true or false: ground reaction force is approximately equivalent to body weight and explai
true,
when your body hits the ground, the ground imposes and equal and opposite force/reaction to u
lower limb joint mocement involves what type of motion
angular
the largest joint motions in the lower limb occur in what place
saggital place
the largest joint motions in the lower limb occur in the sagittal plane involved what ROM at the hip ,knee, ankle
involving flexion/extension of the hip. knee, ankle (and MTP/IP joints)
true or false: the only joint motions occur only in the saggital plane and explain
false, hips move in other planes involving abduction/adduction (coronal) and medial/lateral rotation (transverse)
hips move in other planes involving besides the saggital one, what are the other motions and the planes
abduction/adduction (coronal) and
medial/lateral rotation (transverse)
what are the ankle dorsiflexors
tib ant
extensor hallucis
digitorem longus
