18
Q

what phases of the gait cycle belong to the limb advancement function

A

pre-swing, initial swing, mid swing, and terminal swing

19
Q

what happens with the heel rocker during forward progression

A

plantar flexion during loading response

20
Q

what happens with the ankle rocker during forward progression

A

controlled lowering of the foot to the floor by eccentric action of dorsi-flexors

21
Q

what happens with the forefoot rocker during forward progression

A

plantar flexion in terminal stance/preswing
concentric action of plantar flexors

22
Q

___________ are joint positions or motions that allow for accomplishment of gait cycle goals

A

critical events

23
Q

What are some gait cycle goals?

A

forward progression
stability
shock absorption
foot clearance
swing limb advancement
position limb to prep for landing

24
Q

Initial contact critical events

A

1 - heel strike
2 - set up foot for 1st rocker (forward progression)

25
loading response critical events
1 - controlled ankle PF 2 - controlled knee flex (shock absorption and stability) 3 - hip stability (stability)
26
mid-stance critical events
1 - controlled tibia advancement (forward progression)
27
terminal stance critical events
1 - controlled DF to 10 degrees w/ heel rise on trailing limb (forward progression and stability)
28
Preswing critical event
1 - ankle PF to 15 (limb advancement) 2 - passive knee flex to 40 (foot clearance)
29
initial swing critical events
1 - hip flex to 15 (limb advancement) 2 - knee flex to 60 (foot clearance)
30
mid swing critical event
1 - hip flexion to 25 (limb advancement) 2 - DF to neutral (foot clearance)
31
terminal swing critical events
1 - knee extension to 5 (limb advancement)
32
What are some temporospatial descriptors of gait
step width (2.5-12.5cm) step length(76cm) step freq/cadence (112.5 step/min) velocity (1.46m/sec)
33
T or F: regarding joint kinematics, variability in health and leads to stable outcome parameters
t
34
T or F, there is more variability in ankle during swing than hip
false, more in hip! Probs because it gives us more adaptability, hip is included in both segments, and DOF of joint is more
35
net extensor moment is less variable than individual joint moments and this suggests:
a variety of combinations can be used to prevent collapse and control balance
36
what happens as walking speed slows
- increase stance time - increase double support time - increased variability - increase M/L COM displacement
37
what is the range of speed we transition from walk to run
1.88-2.07 m/sec
38
why are peak ankle velocity and acceleration critical events in the walk to run transition
- high activity in DFs close to toe-off, also co-contraction of PFs - transition to run decreases stress on DFs, shifts work to larger leg muscles
39
what are the 4 steps in gait initiation
1 - relax PFs 2 - shift in COP (think weird upside down backwards 7) 3 - anterior leg and thigh activation 4 - hams and PFs propel forward
40
stopping strategies?
- short step to decelerate COM - 1-2 step response is normal
