Normal Gait Cycle Mechanics Flashcards
position of hip on initial contact
30° flex
position of hip on loading response
extends from 30° flex to 5° flex
position of hip in mid-stance
5° flex to neutral or 0° flex/ext
position of hip in terminal stance
10° ext
position of hip in pre-swing
neutral
position of hip in initial swing
20° flex
position of hip in mid swing
30° flex
position of hip in terminal swing
30° flex
what are ms are active when in controlling hip position on initial contact
concentric/isometric:
- glut max
- hamstring
what are ms are active when in controlling hip position in loading response
concentric:
- glut max
- hamstrings
what are ms are active when in controlling hip position in mid stance
eccentric:
- glut med and TFL to control drop of contralateral pelvis
what are ms are active when in controlling hip position in terminal stance
low level glut max firing
what are ms are active when in controlling hip position in pre-swing
concentric:
- iliopsoas
- rectus fem
what are ms are active when in controlling hip position in initial swing
concentric: (brief)
- iliopsoas
- rectus fem
- TFL
- sartorius
what are ms are active when in controlling hip position in mid swing
eccentric at end:
- hamstring
- glut max
what are ms are active when in controlling hip position in terminal swing
eccentric:
- hamstring
- glut max
(limits hip flex and decelerates the limb)
