Q

What is happening at ____ from midstance to terminal stance?

  • Quads
A
  • Quads: Inactive (GRF and PF are maintaining knee extension)
26
Q

What is happening at __ in preswing?

  • PF
A
  • PF: Concentric push off w/supinated foot
27
Q

What is happening in preswing?

A

Widespread mm activity

28
Q

What is happening at __ in preswing?

-Hip flexors

A

Eccentric -> concentric to advance LE into swing

29
Q

What is happening at __ in preswing?

  • Knee flexors (biceps fem + gracilis)
A

Knee extensors:
Slow: concentric flex knee
Normal/fast: momentum only, no mm

30
Q

What is happening at __ in preswing?

-Erector Spinae and trunk stabil

A

Control unwanted trunk mvmt and stabilize upper body

31
Q

What is happening at __ in initial swing?

  • Hip flexors + Knee extensors
A

Concentric to advance leg

32
Q

What is happening at __ in initial swing?

  • DF
A

Concentric activation for foot clearance

33
Q

What is happening during midswing?

A

Most mm activity ceases EXCEPT DF w/inertia carrying the leg through

34
Q

What is happening at __ during terminal swing?

  • HS
A

HS - eccentric to decelerate swinging extremity

35
Q

What is happening at __ during terminal swing?

  • DF
A

DF: hold ankle in position for initial contact

36
Q

What is happening at __ during terminal swing?

  • Quads and hip Abd
A

Initiate activity just before foot touches ground to prep body for large GRF

37
Q

General mm activation in Initial stance?

A

LE mm, particular 2-jt are absorbing E and controlling body from falling to ground (ECCENTRIC)

38
Q

General mm activation in Late Stance?

A

LE mm develop tension through eccentric and concentric contractions as well as other leg moving forward

39
Q

General mm activation in Swing phase?

A

Spring-like recoil of mm w/some concentric contraction to advance leg fwd and clear foot

40
Q

List the 4 categories of abnormal gait patterns

A

1 - Pain
2 - MM weakness
3 - Lack of ROM in LE joints
4 - Neurological/Balance Impaired

41
Q

Pain in abnormal gait

A

It is an antalgic pattern, w/shortened stride length, less stance t on involved limb

42
Q

MM weakness in abnormal gait

A

Lack of eccentric control in stance phase, giving way or trunk compensation

43
Q

Lack of ROM in abnormal gait

A

Limited/lack ROM in LE limits the normal gait pattern

44
Q

Neurological/Balance impaired in abnormal gait

A
  • 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
Q

What is the 6th vital sign?

A

Gait speed

46
Q

How do you test gait speed?

A

47
Q

What is an increase/decrease in gait speed linked to?

A

Overall change - predicts mortality, decline, and physiological changes
Increase - greater quality of life
