Quiz 3 Flashcards
Stance Phase
62% of cycle in normal gait; composed of initial contact, loading response, mid stance, terminal stance, and pre-swing
Swing Phase
38% of cycle in normal gait; composed of initial swing, mid swing, and terminal swing
Initial Contact
the moment the foot contacts the ground; part of weight acceptance
Initial Contact: Critical Event
heel first contact
Initial Contact: ROM
hip in 20 degrees of flexion; knee and ankle at 0 degrees
Initial Contact: Muscle Activity
Hip- extensors (isometric)
Knee- extensors (eccentric)
Ankle- dorsi flexors (eccentric)
Loading Response
weight is transferred onto the limb; knee slightly flexed; mainly eccentric quad contractions; double limb support; part of weight acceptance
Loading Response: Critical Event
controlled knee flexion
Loading Response: ROM
hip- 20 degrees flexion
knee- 20 deg flexion
ankle- 10 deg flexion
Loading Response: Muscle Activity
hip- extensors/abductors (isometric)
knee- extensors and
ankle- dorsiflexors
eccentric
Mid-Stance
push up until your body is straight; body in a straight line; not much muscle activity; single limb support; weight falling forward
Mid Stance: Critical Event
controlled tibial advancement; (body is straight up and down)
Mid Stance: Muscle Activity
right when the calf will start working; from here until end of stance the calf is working at its hardest
Terminal Stance:
progression continues moving the body forward of the limb and weight is transferred to the forefoot; largest torque demand; calf working a ton; single limb support
Terminal Stance: Critical Event
controlled ankle dorsiflexion (maximum dorsiflexion)
