3 possible pairs of hip movements
(1) flexion/extension (2) abduction/adduction (3) internal/external rotation
how many axes needed for hip movements?
3 axes of rotation; defined as having 2 points, or forming a line

horizontal/transverse/axial plane
Match movement with axis. What is the plane?

Flexion/extension; sagittal/median plane
Match movement with axis. What is the plane?

Abduction/adduction; frontal/coronal plane

Match movement with axis. What is the plane?

internal/external rotation; horizontal/transverse/axial plane
which axis is associated with flexion/extension of the KNEE?
mediolateral/transverse axis
in which plane does flexion/extension of the KNEE occur?
sagittal/median plane
match the movement and plane of movement with the following image of knee

flexion/extension; w/in sagittal/median plane
what axis is associated with plantar flexion/dorsiflexion of the ANKLE?
oblique mediolateral/transverse axis
in which plane does plantarflexion and dorsiflexion of the ANKLE occur?
oblique sagittal/median plane
match the movement and plane of movement with the following image of the ANKLE

plantar flexion/ dorsiflexion; w/in oblique sagittal/median plane
drawing toes back towards shins is called:
dorsiflexion
pointing your toes is called:
plantar flexion
dorsiflexion is (EXTENSION/FLEXION)
EXTENSION
plantar flexion is (FLEXION/ EXTENSION)
FLEXION
what is the embryologically-ventral surface of the FOOT?
plantar aspect
what is the embryologically-ventral surface of the LEG?
posterior calf
inversion of foot is similar to (SUPINATION/PRONATION)
supination (towards midline)

eversion of foot is similar to (SUPINATION/PRONATION)
pronation (away from midline)

axis of rotation for abduction/adduction of the toes is what?
2ND DIGIT
where is center of gravity located?
midsagittally and slightly anterior to 2nd sacral vertebrae
where does line of gravity lie in relation to hip, knee and ankle joints?
- Hip - sl posterior to hip joint
- Knee - anterior to knee
- Ankle - anterior to ankle by ~2 inches
Line of gravity tends to convey the following effects at the hip, knee, and ankle joints:
1) Hyperextend the hip
2) Hyperextend the knee (bc anterior to the transverse)
3) dorsiflex the ankle

what muscle(s) limit HIP HYPEREXTENSION?
2 muscles
- Iliofemoral ligament (Y ligament of Bigelow)
- Ischiofemoral ligament
what muscle(s) limit KNEE HYPEREXTENSION?
- intracapsular/extracapsular ligaments providing posterior support
- gastrocnemius
what muslce(s) limit ankle dorsiflexion?
active plantar flexors (i.e. Triceps surae, which is the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles)
What defines a gait cycle?
one stride or 2 steps
traditional gait cycle (order) - stance phase
- initial contact /heel strike (0%)
- foot flat (7%)
- midstance (30%)
- heel off (40%)
- toe off (60%)
traditional gait cycle (swing phase) - order
- acceleration
- midswing
- deceleration
which forces act together to form the Ground Reaction Force (GRF)?
- gravitational
- muscular
- momentum
which force(s) act together during standing?
just gravitational force
during which phases in stance phase have GRF forces pointing UPWARDS?
initial contact, midstance, toe off

during which of the stance phase is the GRF line pointing down towards the ground?
flat foot, heel off

which muscle groups are recruited at each joint to offset GRF during INITIAL CONTACT/HEEL STRIKE?
- At hip - hip extensors
- At knee - knee extensors
- At ankle - ankle dorsiflexors

which muscle groups are recruited at each joint to offset GRF during MIDSTRIKE (one limb off the ground)?
- Hip abductors (gluteus maximus/minimus) - on the stance side prevents the pelvis on the swing side from sagging
- Knee extensors are active
- Plantar flexors stabilize the ankle

define compensatory trendelenburg gait
*Gait functions as ABDUCTORS that are not working
• Trendelenburg test/sign to see if there is drooping on the opposite side; pt may fall or need to grab the table
compensatory trendelenburg gait: for left side is affected
No pelvix drop/tilt on right side while the right limb is in the swing phase; trunk shifted to the left
which muscle groups are recruited at each joint to offset GRF during TOE-OFF?
- Hip - hip flexors
- Knee - knee extensors
- Ankle - ankle plantar flexors

CC: apropulsive or calcaneal gait
weakness of the ankle plantar flexors can result in insufficient propulsion;
there will be no toe-off, but the entire foot will leave the ground at once
