quads activate to maintain knee extension and hip extensors keep trunk upright, plantar flexors (soleus) control forward motion of the tibia over the foot

Q

what is occurring during toe-off?

A

plantar flexors are most active pushing off the ground to propel the body forward and initiate the swing phase of gait

swing phase; 40%

40
Q

42
Q

what is occurring during mid-swing?

A

continued hip flexion and beginning of knee extension

quads contract to prevent excessive knee flexion and prepare the leg for landing

43
Q

what is occurring during terminal swing?

A

hip extends and knee continues to extend in preparation for heel strike, tibialis anterior contracts to dorsiflex the ankle preparing the foot for initial contact
