Normal Gait 8 Flashcards
What is the relationship of cadence and stance time with treadmill compared to overground walking?
Higher cadence and shorter stance times with treadmill
When are ground reaction forces higher?
When walking on normal ground when compared to treadmill
Joint range of motion during gait is similar with treadmill walking compared to overground walking true or false?
True
What is different between running and walking?
Running has float periods where no limb is touching the ground (requires greater balance and force generation)
The sequence of muscle activation patterns during walking and running are similar true or false?
True
The magnitude of muscle contraction is greater with running than walking true or false?
True
The functional varus angle of support limb is increased with running as compared to walking true or false?
True
What are the phases of gait when it comes to ascending stairs?
Weight acceptance
Pull up
Forward continuance
Foot clearance
Foot placement
What are the phases of gait when it comes to descending stairs?
Weight acceptance
Controlled lowering
Forward continuance
Leg pull through
Foot placement
Initial contact with the stance period with stair gait is typically with the forefoot true or false?
True
Which stance phase of stair gait is associated with single limb support?
Pull up phase
Which muscle group has the greatest activity during pull up of stair gait?
Quads
Which muscle group has the greatest activity during forward continuance of stair gait?
Ankle plantar flexors
Descending stairs places a greater demand on hip abductors compared to ascending stairs true or false?
True
