25
What is happening at ____ from midstance to terminal stance? - Quads
- Quads: Inactive (GRF and PF are maintaining knee extension)
26
What is happening at __ in preswing? - PF
- PF: Concentric push off w/supinated foot
27
What is happening in preswing?
Widespread mm activity
28
What is happening at __ in preswing? -Hip flexors
Eccentric -> concentric to advance LE into swing
29
What is happening at __ in preswing? - Knee flexors (biceps fem + gracilis)
Knee extensors: Slow: concentric flex knee Normal/fast: momentum only, no mm
30
What is happening at __ in preswing? -Erector Spinae and trunk stabil
Control unwanted trunk mvmt and stabilize upper body
31
What is happening at __ in initial swing? - Hip flexors + Knee extensors
Concentric to advance leg
32
What is happening at __ in initial swing? - DF
Concentric activation for foot clearance
33
What is happening during midswing?
Most mm activity ceases EXCEPT DF w/inertia carrying the leg through
34
What is happening at __ during terminal swing? - HS
HS - eccentric to decelerate swinging extremity
35
What is happening at __ during terminal swing? - DF
DF: hold ankle in position for initial contact
36
What is happening at __ during terminal swing? - Quads and hip Abd
Initiate activity just before foot touches ground to prep body for large GRF
37
General mm activation in Initial stance?
LE mm, particular 2-jt are absorbing E and controlling body from falling to ground (ECCENTRIC)
38
General mm activation in Late Stance?
LE mm develop tension through eccentric and concentric contractions as well as other leg moving forward
39
General mm activation in Swing phase?
Spring-like recoil of mm w/some concentric contraction to advance leg fwd and clear foot
40
List the 4 categories of abnormal gait patterns
1 - Pain 2 - MM weakness 3 - Lack of ROM in LE joints 4 - Neurological/Balance Impaired
41
Pain in abnormal gait
It is an antalgic pattern, w/shortened stride length, less stance t on involved limb
42
MM weakness in abnormal gait
Lack of eccentric control in stance phase, giving way or trunk compensation
43
Lack of ROM in abnormal gait
Limited/lack ROM in LE limits the normal gait pattern
44
Neurological/Balance impaired in abnormal gait
- Decreased coordination - unable to initiate movement - increased BOS - postural sway - syngergy patterns - little to no mm activation concentrically - increased compensations and use of devices
45
What is the 6th vital sign?
Gait speed
46
How do you test gait speed?
10M walk test
47
What is an increase/decrease in gait speed linked to?
Overall change - predicts mortality, decline, and physiological changes Increase - greater quality of life Decrease - increase fall risk
48
What are the minimum standards of gait speed?
- 300 m in less than 11.5 min (speed 0.45 m/s) | - 1.3 m/sec for 13-27 m (to cross street)
49
What are the phases of ascending stairs?
Stance phase - 64% - Weight acceptance - Pull up - forward continuance Swing phase - 36% - foot clearance - foot placement
50
What are the phases of descending stairs?
Stance phase - Weight acceptance - Forward continuance - Controlled lowering Swing phase - leg pull through - forward placement
51
What is the knee extensor moment for ascending and descending stairs?
3x that of walking
52
What is the role of the knee in a) ascending stairs b) descending stairs
a) generative (Forces) | b) absorptive
53
What is the roll of the quads in a) ascending stairs b) descending stairs
a) Concentric to raise | b) eccentric to lower
54
What occurs during the pull up phase of ascending stairs?
Period of SL support w/instability where body weight shifted from back leg to forward leg that is : flexed at hip, knee, and ankle
55
What major mm are activated during the pull up phase of ascending stairs?
RF, VL, Soleus, and medial gastroc
56
What major mm are activated during descending stairs?
Eccentric RF, VL, soleus, and medial gastroc | + peak hip abductor moment
57
What mm has its peak moment in stair descent?
Hip abductors
58
What is the relationship between speed and stance phase in running?
Inverse relation
59
What must be present in order for running to occur?
Float phase - period of time w/o limb contact
60
What are the two phases of running?
Stance phase (40%) and Float phase (60%)
