Q

Four ways machines function

A

Balance multiple forces
Enhance force in an attempt to reduce total force needed to overcome resistance
Enhance range of motion and speed of movement so that resistance may be moved further or faster than applied force
Alter resulting direction of the applied force

Q

External applied force

A

Produced from outside the body, and originate from gravity inertia or direct contact
Ground reaction forces- the force exerted by the ground on a body in contact with the ground

66
Q

Most common of these is RA
Auto immune- attacks synovium and cartilage
Found in women 30-60

67
Q

68
Q

72
Q

What is Gait?

A

One gait cycle is from a heel strike to heel strike on same foot

73
Q

Two main phases

A

Stance phase: when the foot is on the ground

Swing phase: foot not on the ground

74
Q

At contact

A

lateral aspect of calcaneous strikes the ground
tibia internally rotates and calcaneus everts
= pronation
extensor digitorum longus and tibialis anterior relax

75
Q

midstance

A

the rearfoot is fully pronated
metatarsals hit the ground and the bodys center of gravity is over the foot
the subtalar joint resupinates
posterior tibialis prevents over pronation and is an active supinator

76
Q

propulsion

A

heel life becomes toe off
the center of gracity passes over the metatarsasl and begins to pull the heel up
supination means we have a rigid lever and can push off
phase ends with the body weight moving over great toe before all weight is transferred to the other foot

77
Q

swing

A
foot dorsiflexes to keep other toes from hiting the ground
foot supinates( gets it further away from the gorun stabilizes it in preparation for the first jarring movement of heel strike)
78
Q

Stance Phase

A

from heel strike to toe off
approx. 60% of cycle
foot is on the ground and bearing weight
this is when most problems occur

79
Q

Swing phase

A

from toe off to heel strike

foot is moving forward and is non weight bearing

80
Q

requirements for gait

A
stability in stance
foot clearance in swing
pre position for initial contact
adequate step length
energy conservation
