Front Back
What is the normal gait cycle
Heel strike to ipsilateral heel strike
What are the 2 major phases of a normal gait
Stance (60%)swing(40%)
What are the sub phases of stance
Initial contact, loading response, mid stance and terminal stance
What are the sub phases of swing
Pre swing, initial swing, mid swing, terminal swing
What are the 3 functional tasks of gait
Weight acceptance, single limb support, single limb advancement
Weight acceptance ( WA) =
Initial contact (IC) + loading response (LR)
Single limb support (SLS)=
Midswing (MSt) + terminal stance (tSt)
Single limb advancement (SLA) =
Pre swing (PSw) + initial swing (ISw) + midswing(MSt) + terminal swing (TSw)
What are the 4 dynamic functions of the foot during stance phase
1- become loose adapter at initial contact 2- provide shock absorption at inital contact 3- become rigid lever at terminal swing 4- absorb transverse plane motion of LE during stance phase
What joint do pronation and supination occur at
STJ and MTJ
This type of walking results in loose foot, allowing for more mid good motion, compromising first ray and attachment of peroneus longus
Pronation
This will not allow the foot to resupinate to provide rigid lever, it is less powerful and less efficient force
Pronation
This type of walking causes the for to remain ridgit decreasing mobility or the calcaneocuboid joint and cuboid
Supination
This results in increased tension of peroneus longus and decreased mobility in first ray causing weight absorption on 1st and 5th metatarsals and inefficient ground reaction force absorption
Supination
What kind of joint is the subtalar joint
Single axis hinge joint
