Q

What occurs during single limb support?

A

The body passes over a stationary foot. A single limb supports the body, and the body moves in front of the reference limb.

Q

What occurs during swing limb advancement?

A

The reference limb generates momentum through forward propulsion. Initially, this involves pushing off the surface; followed by limb clearance strategies (rapid flexing of the reference limb).
