Q

Describe TD and MA at hip during Opposite Toe Off

A

TD: GRF close to joint

A

TD: GRF forward, so DF moment.
MA: Triceps surae contracts eccentrically to control DF

24
Q

Describe TD and MA at knee during Mid-Stance.

A

TD: GRF behind joint, creating flexion torque.
MA: Quads contract concentrically to extend knee.

25
Q

Describe TD and MA at hip during Mid-Stance.

A

TD: GRF through joint line
MA: Hip extends due to inertia and gravity. Stance limb ABD eccentrically control a slight dip on the swing limb side

26
Q

Describe TD and MA at ankle during Heel-Rise.

A

TD: GRF still anterior, so external DF moment.
MA: Triceps surae reach eccentric contraction peak (Ankle DF reaches peak)

27
Q

Describe the position of the tibia and foot during Heel Rise

A
  • Tibia is externally rotated

- Foot is supinated

28
Q

Describe TD and MA at knee during Heel-Rise.

A

TD: GRF moves anterior to knee jt, so extension torque.
MA: Knee reaches extension peak, Gastrocs contract to prevent hyperextension and initiate knee flexion.

29
Q

Describe TD and MA at hip during Heel-Rise.

A

TD: GRF behind jt, small extension moment
MA: No significant muscle activity at hip.

30
Q

Describe TD and MA at ankle during Opposite IC.

A

TD: GRF passes through forefoot, significant DF moment.
MA: triceps surae contract concentrically to generate a large internal PF moment. Highest power generating moment in gait cycle

31
Q

Describe the activity of the toes and feet during Opposite IC.

A
  • Toes extend, plantar facia tightens

- Foot supinated (more rigid)

32
Q

Describe TD and MA at knee during Opposite IC.

A

TD: GRF behind knee, so knee flexion moment.
MA: Quads, may contract eccentrically to prevent knee flexion from occurring too rapidly

33
Q

Describe TD and MA at knee during Opposite IC.

A

TD: GRF behind knee, so knee flexion moment.
MA: Quads, may contract eccentrically to prevent knee flexion from occurring too rapidly

34
Q
