Normal Gait Cycle - Specifics Flashcards
What is the order of the Gait Cycle
Initial Contact –> Loading Response –> Midstance –> Terminal Stance –> Pre Swing –> Initial Swing –> Mid Swing –> Terminal Swing
What % of the gait cycle does Initial Contact Make up?
0-2%
What % of the gait cycle does Loading Response make up?
2-12% // important for shock absorption
What Rocker is going on during Loading Response?
Heel Rocker
What % of the gait cycle does Mid Stance make up?
12-30%
What Rocker is going on during Mid Stance?
Ankle Rocker
What % of the gait cycle does Terminal Stance Make up?
30-50% // begins when reference heel rises and ends when opposite heel initial contact
What Rocker is going on during Terminal Stance?
Forefoot Rocker
What % of the gait cycle does Pre Swing make up?
50-62% // beings w/ opposite initial contact and ends with reference toe-off
What Rocker is going on during Pre Swing?
Toe Rocker
What % of the gait cycle does Initial Swing make up?
62-75% // begins when reference foot lifts from floor and ends when swinging foot lines up with stance foot // MAXIMUM KNEE FLEXION REQUIRED
What % of the gait cycle does Mid Swing make up?
75-87% // begins w/ max knee flexion until reference limb is anterior to body and tibia is vertical. TYPICAL FOOT CLEARANCE 1-2cm
What % of the gait cycle does Terminal Swing make up?
87-100% // begins w/ vertical tibia on reference limb and ends w/ initial contact
What Critical Event is occuring during Initial Contact?
Initial floor contact w/o falling or slowing, foward progression, double support
What Critical Event is occuring during Loading Response?
Shock absorption, posture maintenance, double support
What Critical Event is occuring during Mid Stance?
Controlled but unrestrained forward progression of body, maximum lateral displacement, highest our CoG gets single support
What Critical Event is occuring during Terminal Stance?
Free forward fall of body –> heel off / push off, single support
What Critical Event is occuring during Pre Swing?
Knee flexion timed w/ weight shift, double support, lowest our CoG gets
What Critical Event is occuring during Initial Swing?
foot clearance and thigh progression, max knee flexion, single support
What Critical Event is occuring during Mid Swing?
continued floor clearance, vertical tibia, single support
What Critical Event is occuring during Terminal Swing?
Deceleration of swinging limb, pre-positioning of foot for initial contact, single support **eccentric
For 0-15% of the gait cycle, the pelvis is rotating how?
Internally rotating
For 15-60% of the gait cycle, the pelvis is rotating how?
Externally rotating
