2
Q
Strength
A
largest load a body can withstand before failure
3
Q
Deformation
A
A change in dimension-load causes deformation

Gait
A
pattern of movement of limbs during locomotion
14

important roles in human activities, mostly walking and running
15
Q
Gait Cycle
A
single sequence from one heel strike to the next heel strike of the same limb
16

A
from mid stance to pre-swing phase
19
Q
3 tasks of Gait Cycle

28
Vertical GRF Graph

30
Medial-Lateral GRF Graph
-5-5% body weight, wiggly graph right on 0% body weight
31
```
Vertical GRF (Fy)
-equations-
```
Fy= m*(g +ay)
If ay=0 then Fy = body weight
If ay>0 then Fy Increases and Fy is > body weight
If ay<0 then Fy decreases and Fy is < body weight
32
Peak Vertical GRF
120% of body weight
33
Peak Anterior-Posterior GRF
20% of body weight
34
Peak Medial-Lateral GRF
5% of body weight
35
Joint Moment in Gait
Take a look at the GRF vector and depending on the way it's pulling the joint will show the join moment...
ex. a GRF behind the knee will cause knee flexion
36
Running Gait-stance phase
35-39% of GC
37
Running Gait-swing phase
61-65% of GC
38
Faster running speed results in...
* shorter gait cycle and lower percentage of stance phase.
* No double-limb support
* Joint angle ROM increases since running has higher ankle, knee and hip joint ROM>
39
Foot strike pattern -walking
rearfoot strike
40
Foot strike pattern- running
rearfoot strike (most runners)
or forefoot or midfoot strike
-Rearfoot displays a distinct impact transient in early stance
-Forefoot has no impact transient in early stance
-Active peak vertical forces near mid stance are generally similar
41
Strike patterns (Running) and injury
RFS has high vertical loading rates that are correlated to injuries such as tibial stress fractures
FFS has lower injury risk
42
COM (walking)
Highest COM=Midstance due to inverted pendulum
PE is highest in midstance
KE is lowest in midtance
COM PE and KE are out of phase
43
COM (running)
Lowest COM= midstance
PE is lowest in midstance
KE is lowest in midstance
COM PE and KE are in phase
44
Foot and Ankle Complex
- provides a base of support to maintain balance
- Serves as an energy source and energy sink, is involved with energy exchanges
- Positive work in walking/running
45
Forefoot Structure
Forefoot-metatarsals/phalanges
46
Midfoot Structure
Navicular, Cuboid, Three Cuneiforms
47
Hindfoot Structure
Talus, Calcaneus
48
Metatarsal-Phalangeal Joints
MTP Joints
- support the body
- provide traction
- control the forward motion of the COM during propulsion
49
Stress Fractures
- result from a microtrauma to bone from
1. uncontrolled foot landing
2. Hard landing on the ground
3. Improper spring of the foot action
50
Foot Spring
Responsible for transferring forces from achilles tendon to forefoot
- Decrease in tension in spring will increase the strain on the metatarsals
- In terminal stance phase(push-off) the decrease in tension in the spring will shift the GRF and contact area from the toes to the metatarsals
51
Ankle Sprains
Mostly inversion... eversion rarely happen because of longer lateral malleolus and stronger deltoid ligaments
52
Knee Complex
Tibiofemoral Joint with 2 degrees of freedom
1. Flexion/Extension
2. Internal/External Rotation
Patellofemoral Joint
53
Knee Injuries
Ligamentous sprains
Meniscal tears
Osteoarthritis
54
Knee Ligament Injuries
```
ACL
caused by:
-suddenly slowing down and changing direction
-stopping suddenly
-receiving a direct blow to the knee
-landing awkwardly from a jump
```
55
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Stress is the key component cause
- patellofemoral joint reaction force
- contact area between patella and femur (too small)
- Changes based on knee angle (Contact area increases as knee flexion angle increases)

3. Sternoclavicular Joint
Articulation= scapulothoracic articulation
65

- supraspinatus
- infraspinatus
- teres minor
- subscapularis
* keep the ball and socket joint in tack
66
Shoulder Impingement
- single most common shoulder pathology
- rotator cuff is a common source of pain in shoulder
- happens when the tendons in the shoulder are irritated/inflamed or degenerated from repetitive overhead motions or structural abnormalities in shoulder.
67
Mobility of Shoulder
provides a wide range of motion, elbow as a hinge so the hands may reach in different directions
68
Dexterity
eg. writing, play piano
69
Object manipulation
eg. hold a bottle
70
Daily life activities
eating, communication
71
Lower Limb Function
- Load carriage
- Stability
- Locomotion
72
Amputation Stats
- Over 1.6 million experienced limb amputation in US
- 3.6 million in 2050
- 2/3 of the amputations are lower limb
73
Limb Amputation causes
- Dysvascular disease (54%)
- Trauma (45%)
- Cancer
74
Functional mobility
- Lack of muscles & sensory feedback (unilateral amputees)
- Gait asymmetries & increased use of intact limb
- Will result in some degenerative changes, secondary impairments (knee OA in intact limb)
75
Amputee Walking Gait
Whole body COM is moving downward- upward direction
-if trailing limb positive work decreases it will result in increased leading limb share of COM redirection, increase GRF loading in leading leg, secondary impairments
76
Passive Prothesis
- store & return small amounts of energy
| - incapable of emulation normal ankle function
77
Power Prosthesis
- uses a series elastic actuator and a motor (both passive and motorized elements) to emulate ankle foot functions
- significantly decreases intact leg peak resultant force by 2-11% during walking .75-1.5 m/s
- decreases metabolic cost by 8% in walking at .75-1.5 m/s
78
Running Prothesis
-Carbon Fiber prosthetic foot
compresses and then returns to normal shape as push off
-compression and decompression of the blade enable the release of energy at push off, and reduce metabolic cost of running
-"C" shaped-jogging and distance running, storing and releasing energy over time
-"J" shaped-sprinting, quick energy recovery
79
Torque=
Force x Lever Arm
| Also called a moment of force
