Cards

Term
Initial Contact
Definition

Position:  20-30 degrees of flexion

 

Moment:  Large extensor/flexion

 

MA:  Lower G-max, Adductor Magnus, Hamstrings (reduced)

 

FS:  Prevent excessive hip flexion to provide stability at hip, trunk and knee.  Hamstrings are reduced to help with hip extension but not cause knee flexion

Term
Loading Response
Definition

Position:  20 degrees flexion

 

Moment:  Extensor/flexion and Abductor/adduction

 

MA:  Lower G-max, Adductor Magnus and Hamstrings.  Post TFL, G-min, G-med, upper G-max

 

FS:  Keep trunk erect and control hip flexion moment.  Stabilize the pelvis and prevent excessive drop of opposite pelvis

Term
Midstance
Definition

Position:  0 degrees

 

Moment:  Abductor/adduction

 

MA:  No muscel for sagittal plane.  Post TFL, G-min, G-med, upper G-max

 

FS:  Stabilization of pelvis in frontal plane, Prevent excessive drop of opposite pelvis

Term
Terminal Stance
Definition

Position:  20 degrees hyperextension

 

Moment:  Flexor/extension.  Abductor/adduction

 

MA:  TFL, Adductor Longus

 

FS:  Restrain extending hip, Low level control of frontal plane pelvis movement.

Term
Pre-Swing
Definition

Position:  10 degrees hyperextension

 

Moment:  Flexor/extension that decreases with unweighting

 

MA:  Adductor Longus and gracilis, Rectus Femoris

 

FS:  Decelerate the extending hip, initiate hip flexion, hip flexion contributes to knee flexion, rectus may control knee flexion

Term
Initial Swing
Definition

Position:  15 degrees of flexion

 

Moment:  flexor/extension secondary to tibial inertia

 

MA:  Iliacus, Adductor Longus, Sartorius, Gracilis

 

FS:  Hip flexion. Move limb towards midline (AL). Facilitate knee flexion as discussed previously.

Term
Midswing
Definition

Position:  25 degrees Flexion

 

Moment:  Extensor/Flexion due to rapidly advancing tibia

 

MA:  Hamstrings

 

FS:  Decelerate thigh advancement

Term
Terminal Swing
Definition

Position:  20-30 degrees flexion

 

Moment:  Hip flexion moment decreases by the end of terminal swing

 

MA:  Hamstrings, lower and upper G-max, Adductor Mag, G-med, TFL

 

FS:  Decelerate the flexing hip and extending knee.  Prepare limb for stabilizing leg in sagittal and frontal planes at initial contact
