Gait 2 Flashcards
muscle activity
same same
initial contact - ankle position
DF
initial contact - knee position
knee ext
initial contact - hamstring role
prevent hyper extension
loading response - DF role
eccentrically control the lower of the foot
loading response - quad role
eccentric
to control knee flexion as the limb received body weight
loading response - hip ext role
concentric
to produce hip ext
end - find the rest in FF content

Base of support
distance between the left and right foot during gait
average 2-4 inches
cadence
the number of steps a person takes over a period of time
degree of toe out
normally 7-deg
double support phase
happens two times thoughout gait
time when both feet are on the ground
how long is a gait cycle
initial contact to initial contact of the same heel
stance + swing
what is average amount of pelvic rot during gait
8-deg
4-deg forward with swing
4-deg backwards with stance
step length vs stride length
step: 2 feet, left heel to right heel
stride: 3 feet, left heel to left heel
antaglgic gait
a protective gait pattern
stance time is reduced to to avoid weight bearing on injured side
ataxic gait
staggering and unsteadyiness
wide base of support and movement are exaggrated
cerebellar gait
staggering gait pattern seen with cere disease
circumduction gait
circular motionto advance the leg durng the swing phase
what is circumduction gait used for
when the pt lacks
knee flexion
hip flexion
DF
what is equine gait
gait pattern seen with high steps
normally involves excessive activation of the gastroc
festinating gait
pt walk on toes as though pushed
start slow and then is fast
may not stop until the pt stop to grasp something
hemiplegic gait
pt abd and swings around the paralyzed limb to progress it forward
parkinsonian gait pattern
increased forward flexion trunk and the knee
quick small steps
festinating may occur
