A

none

57
Q

what is the only gait that has no compensation

A

gait with genurecurvatum due to weak hamstrings

58

59
Q

what is joint contractures due to

A

due to stiffening/shortening of soft tissues around it (tendon, muscle, joint capsule)

60

A

when the tightness or stiffness of a joint prevents full extension of those joints

61
Q

hip and/or knee flexion contractures will manifest how

in joint fusion, what happens to joint surfaces

A

pathological

surgery performed to alleivate pain related to arthritis=arthrodesis

Arthrodesis refers to the fusion of two or more bones in a joint

decreased

posterior

73
Q

is there increased/decreased lordosis and /posterior anterior pelvic tilt at terminal stance

explain knee fusion

A

clearing foot in swing phase becomes challenging, leading to vaulting gait or circumduction gait

in knee fusion what becomes difficult and what does that lead to

A

clearing foot in swing phase becomes challenging, leading to vaulting gait or circumduction gait

Q

knee fusion leads to what two f=gaits

true or false: vaulting gait or circumduction gait are only appearnt in knee fusion

A

false, may also be apprent in knee extension contractures

Q

what is vaulting gait

A

Vaulting gait is a compensatory strategy where someone will rise up on their toe (plantar flex) in order to swing the leg through without it hitting the floor

80
Q

what is circumduction gait

To compensate, the patient abducts her thigh and swings her leg in a semi-circle to attain adequate clearance of the ground
