16
Q

What are the two main motions of the pelvis in gait?

A

Rotation and lateral pelvic tilt

17
Q

What is a gait cycle?

A

the sequence of events from initial contact on one limb to the subsequent initial contact on same limb

18
Q

What is a step?

A

from initial contact (IC) on one foot to initial contact on contralateral foot.

19
Q

Where is the innominate at heel strike?

A

At heel strike that side’s innominate is rotated completely posterior and then undergoes only anterior rotation.

20
Q

How does the innominante move in the swing phase?

A

In the beginning of swing phase that innominate is rotated completely anteriorly and only undergoes posterior rotation.

21
Q

What do you do with the leg to gap the SI joint?

A

Adduct and internally rotate

22
Q

What do you do with the leg to gap the pubic symphasis?

A

Abduct and externally rotate

23
Q

How do you measure inflare/outflare?

A

ASIS to umbilicus angle

24
Q

What happens at the superior transverse axis of the sacrum?

A

Respiratory movement

25
Q

What happens at the middle transverse axis of the sacrum?

A

Postural motion

26
Q

What happens at the inferior transverse axis of the sacrum?

A

Dynamic Motion

Flexion or extension of the sacrum during ambulation

27
Q

What occurs at the oblique axis of the sacrum?

A

Dynamic Motion
Torsion of the sacrum during ambulation
Weight bearing on left leg engages the left axis
Weight bearing on right leg engages the right axis

28
