6 determinants of gait that reduce vertical & horizontal displacement of the center of gravity
- pelvic rotation in horizontal plane
- Pelvic tilt in frontal plane
- Lateral displacement of the pelvis
- Hip flexion
- Knee flexion
- Ankle flexion/extension mechanism
Gait cycle defention
As body mass moves forward, one limb serves as support while the other limb moves ahead to a new support
two pashes of gait cycle are…
Stance (60%) and Swing (40%)
Stance phase (what it is and its components)
period when foot is on the ground
- Loading response (initial contact)
- Mid-stance (opposite toe off)
- Terminal stance (Heel rise)
- Pre-swing (Opposite initial contact)
swing phase (what it is and its components)
time when foot is in the air for limb advancement
- Initial swing (toe off)
- Mid-swing (feet adjacent)
- Terminal swing (tibia vertical)
temporal parameters (there are 6)
1.Step length
2. Stride length
3. Cadence
4. Velocity
5. Base of Support
6. Toe-out
Gait cycle stages
- Stance (Initial contact)
- Stance (Loading response)
- Stance (Mid-stance)
- Stance (Terminal Stance)
- Stance (Pre-Swing)
- Swing (Initial Swing)
- Swing (Mid-Swing)
- Swing (Terminal Swing)
Initial contact of stance specifics
- Position foot & begin deceleration
Loading Response of stance specifics
- Accept weight, stabilize pelvis, decelerate mass
Mid stance of stance specifics
- stabilize knee, preserve momentum
Terminal stance of stance specifics
- accelerate mass
Pre-swing of stance specifics
- prepare for swing
Initial swing of swing specifics
- Clear foot, vary cadence
Mid swing of swing specifics
- clear foot
Terminal swing of swing specifics
- decelerate leg, position foot, prepare for contact
The motion segment of the spine…
consists of two adjacent vertebrae & associated tissues
- considered the functional unit of the spine
what type of joints connect adjacent vertebrae?
- Intervertebral symphysis (joints on the anterior side)
- two gliding diarthrodial (facet joints on the posterior side)
Classification of joints
- amphiarthroses (slightly moveable)
- symphysis (type of amphiarthroses joint)
Structure of spine
- intervertebral discs = cushion anterior symphysis joints
- nucleus pulposus = center region of colloidal gel with high fluid content
- annulus fibrosus = Think fibrocartilage disc surrounding nucleus pulposus
Classification of Joints
Diarthroses or synovial = freely moveable
characterized by:
1. Articular cartilage - protective layer of dense white connective tissue covering articulating bone surfaces
2. Articular capsule - a double-layered membrane that surrounds the joint
function of facet joints
- channel & limit range of motion in spine
- assist in load bearing, sustaining up to 30% of compressive load on the spine
Kinematics of the Spine (Cervical upper->lower)
- upper cervical
- Occ to C1: FE 25, LB 5, AR 5
- C1-2: FE 20, LB 5, AR 40
- middle cervical
- C2-C5: FE 15, LB 11, AR 7
- lower cervical
- C5-7: FE 18, LB 7, AR 6
Kinematics of Spine (Upper/middle thoracic, Lower thoracic, Lumbar)
- Upper & Middle thoracic
- T1-10: FE 5, LB 6, AR 7
- Lower Thoracic
- T10-12: FE 12, LB 8, AR 2
- Lumbar
- L1-5: FE 15, LB 6, AR 2
- Coupled Motions
- Primary movement direction of lateral bending results in some axial rotation and vice versa
Kinetics of Spine
- spine is curved; this means body weight acting vertically has components of both compression(Fc) and shear(Fs) at most motion segments
