1
Q

What is Newtons first law

A

An object in motion will remain in motion and an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a force. The more mass an object has, the greater its inertia and the more force it takes to change the state of motion.

Q

What is Newton second law

A

When a force acts on an object, it will cause the object to accelerate. The larger the mass of the object, the greater the force will need to be to cause it to accelerate. This law may be written as force = mass x acceleration.

Q

What is Newtons third law

A

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What this means is that pushing on an object causes that object to push back against you, the exact same amount of force, but in the opposite direction.

Q

What is considered an external force

Name three examples of external forces

A

Push or pull on the body that arise from outside of the body

Gravity is a human’s constant force and thus always needs to be considered first when looking at human movement (on earth!)

Friction

Ground Reaction Force (GRF)

Define kinetic friction

A

Kinetic friction – the force produced when one object moves against another.

Q

List 8 abnormal gait patterns

A

Trendelenburg gait
Circumduction gait
Foot drop
Hemiplegic gait
Antalgic gait
Ataxic gait
Scissor gait
Parkinsonian gait

85
Q

Describe the Trendelenburg gait

A

If the gluteus Medius is weak, the pelvis will drop excessively on the swing leg side with each step, called The trunk will also lean toward

86
Q

Describe Circumduction gait

A

With limited range of motion, or with weakness of the muscles contributing to typical movements of the legs for ambulation, the trunk and pelvis often compensate by rotating anteriorly, circumducting (swinging) the leg out to the side of the body to propel it forward. Called circumduction gait , this compensatory pattern occurs in patients with general muscle weakness, hemiplegia, or osteoarthritis of the knee

87
Q

Describe foot drop

A

Weakness or paralysis of the ankle dorsiflexors can impair heel strike, with the toes coming into contact with the ground prior to the heel. This pattern is called equinus gait . During the swing phase, the toes often drag against the ground due to foot drop , formal term for the loss of ankle dorsiflexion, and it is common after a stroke or TBI.

Isolated weakness of the dorsiflexors can result from injury to the deep fibular nerve, with the strength of the hip and knee preserved. In this case, the hip compensates through excessive flexion to allow the foot to clear the ground, termed high-stepping or steppage gait .

88
Q

Describe Hemiplegic gait

A

A hemiplegic gait pattern involves paralysis or weak- ness of an entire side of the body resulting from a neurological pathology like a stroke, TBI, or cerebral palsy. This gait pattern may include circumduction of the leg with foot drop, but it also includes common positions of the upper and lower extremities. The hip is often internally rotated and adducted, with an unstable knee extended against the weight of gravity.

89
Q

Describe antalgic gait

A

Antalgic gait literally means ambulating against ( anti ), or to avoid, pain ( algos ). For example, suppose you experience an ankle sprain and limp for several days afterward due to the pain of weight-bearing through the affected leg. This pattern shortens the stance phase through the painful leg and shifts the weight onto the non injured opposite side.

90
Q

Define ataxic gait

A

Generally, due to neurological impairment of the cerebellum, the individual strives for a wider base of support with jerky, staggering movements in attempts to ambulate. The loss of global coordination and impaired proximal stability have a considerable effect on upper extremity function.

91
Q

Define scissor gait

A

Individuals with a scissor gait demonstrate a narrowing, or even crossing-over, of the legs as they walk ( 10.52 ). This is often due to abnormal muscle tone with tightness of the hip adductors and is associated with cerebral palsy or other neurological pathologies that cause muscle spasticity.

92
Q

Define Parkinsonian Gait

A

For individuals with Parkinson’s disease, gait is affected by impaired perception and modulation of motor movements. Parkinsonian gait includes shuffling the feet—small forward motions with limited elevation of the legs—with flexion of the trunk, placing the weight of the body on the balls of the feet ( 10.53 ). This gait pattern increases the risk of falls and injury.
