Tripping Gait Flashcards
(5 cards)
Objective to Clearance
Initial Swing Knee 40-60F
Mid Swing Ankle 5PF-0
Contributors to Clearance ISw/MSw
ISw: Hip 0-10F (limb advancement)
MSw: Hip 10-20F (limb advance)
Can comp via pelv rotation in transverse
Contributions in other phases
PSw: Hip 20E-0 (initiate limb advanc, facil passive knee flx)
MSt: ankle 10PF-5DF (prog COM over BOS)
TSt: Ankle 5-10DF (COM beyond BOS)
Compensations leading to tripping
Decreased step length contralateral limb
dec ankle rock->dec forefoot rock->dec fwd prog->dec contralat step length
Trunk Alignment Contribution
Foreward lean->
Decreased ankle/forefoot rockers->
Decreased Contralat step length->
Decreased preswing knee flexion (Com over bos drives knee back)
