15- MM during gait Flashcards

1

Q

What are the 3 roles of glut max in gait?

A
  1. Late swing: acts eccentrically to decelerate flexion of the hip
  2. Early stance: acts concentrically to initiate extension of the hip
  3. Toe-off: acts concentrically to assist in abducting the swing phase leg

Q

What is the main role of glut med and min throughout the gait cycle? What are the key differences in their roles?

A

Frontal plane stabilization

Med: turns on at toe-off to provide abduction and int rot
Min: turns on at mid-swing to provide additional internal rotation

Q

At which point in gait do the hamstrings demonstrate peak activity? Why?

A

Terminal portion of swing phase to decelerate forward motion of extending leg (avoid hyperextension of knee)

Q

At which point in gait do the quads demonstrate peak activity? Why? When do they turn off?

A

Early contact to decelerate knee flexion

Turn off when gravity line passes anterior to the knee joint (now gravity produces extension moment)

Q

Which 2 muscles do the hamstrings assist during gait? How?

A

  2. Gastroc: flexing knee

Q

Why does the tibia need to be internally rotated during swing phase?

A

So that initial contact is in a pronated position

Q

At which point in gait do the adductors demonstrate peak activity? Why?

A

Toe off to flex and internally rotate the femur during swing phase

Also turn on during late swing to prepare for ground reaction forces

Q

What are the 2 key roles of tib ant in gait? Which other 2 muscles have the same role?

A
  1. Swing phase: acts concentrically so toes clear the ground
  2. Stance phase: acts eccentrically to slowly lower forefoot to ground after initial contact

EHL, EDL

Q

Why do overpronators tend to get anterior shin splints?

A

Tib ant plays a role in slowing the rate of pronation during gait - overpronation makes it so tib ant needs to turn on more

Q

Which of the following are functions of tibialis posterior during gait?

A. Supinate the subtalar joint late in stance phase
B. Slows down the rate of plantarflexion during early stance phase
C. Allows the toes to clear the ground during swing phase
D. Slow down the rate of pronation in stance phase

Q 
Which of the following muscles assist in returning the subtalar joint to neutral andthen a supinated position late in stance?
A. Tibialis posterior
B. Tibialis anterior
C. Flexor digitorum longus
D. Flexor hallucis longus
A

A, C, and D

17
Q

What are the 2 main roles of popliteus during gait?

A
  1. Initial contact: Assist subtalar joint with pronation by internally rotating tibia
  2. Midstance: assist gastroc with decelerating knee extension to prevent hyperextension
18
Q

Dr. Ross said that this muscle group is responsible for resisting subtalar joint supination and if it wasn’t working, you would sprain your ankle every step you take.

A

Peroneal muscles

19
Q

Which peroneal muscle is responsible for preventing splaying of the tarsals during late midstance and early propulsion?

A

Longus

20
Q

Which peroneal muscle is responsible for creating a stabilizing compressive force as it pulls the fifth metatarsal into the cuboid and calcaneus?

A

Brevis

21
Q

Which 2 muscles are important in stabilizing the 1st ray against the ground and in the transverse plane?

A

Abductors hallucis

Adductor hallucis

22
Q

True or false: The function of the intrinsic muscles of the foot is to act as prime movers of the greattoe and the lesser toes

A

False - they stabilize the foot to act as a rigid lever
