Ascending Phases
Loading response Midstance elevation Preswing Early swing Late swing
Ascending
Loading Response
Ref limb initial contact -> contralat toe off
Ascending
Mid stance elevation
Contralat toe off-> contralat contact
Ascending
Preswing
Contrlat initial contact -> ref limb toe off
Ascending
Early Swing
Toe off -> point where ref limb crosses contralat limb
Ascending
Late swing
Crossing contralat limb -> referance limb contact
