Q

What occurs within double support?

A
  • Initial contact, loading response
  • Pre-swing (double support II)
17
Q

Cadence

A

steps/unit of time

18
Q

How do we quantify gait

A

Temporal/distance factors, kinematics, kinetics, muscle activation patterns

19
Q

Temporal/distance factors

A

cadence, step length, stride length

20
Q

What body movements do we look at in kinematics of gait?

A
  • Plantar/dorsiflexion & in/eversion of ankles
  • Flexion/extension of knee
  • Flexion/extension, ab/adduction, in/external rotation of hip
21
Q

Inertial Measurement Units

A

Attaches to body segment to estimate movement

22
Q

Muscle activation for postural control and progression

A
  • Postural control: eccentric contraction of quads, tibialis ant. at initial stance
  • Progression: concentric contraction of plantar flexors at end of stance phase
23
Q

What does the mesencephalic locomotor region help with?

A

Weight support, active propulsion

24
Q

What does the cerebellum help with?

A

modulate step cycle

25
Q

What does the basal ganglia help with?

A

initiation and termination of movement

26
Q

What does the primary visual cortex help with?

A

send sensory info to motor cortex

27
Q

When do we utilize reactive strategies?

A

unexpected disturbances

28
Q

When do we utilize proactive strategies?

A

expected disturbances

29
Q

What are examples of proactive strategies?

A
  • Avoidance: sensory info used to modify gait
  • Accomodation: long term
