Term
When does Swing Phase begin?
Definition
Toe off of the same foot
Term
When does Swing Phase end?
Definition
Heel contact of the same foot
Term
What percentage of normal Gait Cycle does Swing Phase occupy?
Definition
38%
Term
What is the purpose of the Swing Phase?
Definition
Transporting the foot from one Stance Phase to the next Stance Phase
Term
What does the leg during the first half of Swing Phase as the foot pronates at the STJ, to help the foot clear the ground at Midswing?
Definition
Shorten
Term
What does the STJ joint do during Swing Phase to lengthen the limb and prepare it for Heel Contact Period?
Definition
The STJ supinates and then pronates to absorb the shock.
Term
What type of rotation is typical of Swing Phase?
Definition
External rotation for a moment after Toe Off, then Interanl rotation for the remainder fo the Swing Phase of Gait.
Term
T/F The Limb completely rotates during Swing Phase?
Definition
FALSE, there is still some internal rotation that can still occupr a Contact Period.
Term
During Swing Phase, supination of STJ is paired with internal rotation of the leg. This is not normal. Why?
Definition
B/c rotation during Swing Phase is done by active muscle contraction and NONE by Ground Reactive Forces.
Term
What is the differenc between muscle contraction during Swing Phase vs. Contact Period?
Definition
Muscle contraction creates motion during Swing Phase and Stability during foot contact.
Term
What happens just before Toe Off in the STJ?
Definition
Slight Pronation
Term
T/F The foot doesn't become pronated until shortly AFTER Toe Off, (about 70% of the full Gait Cycle)?
Definition
TRUE
Term
T/F The continues to pronate a small amount until Midswing?
Definition
TRUE
Term
Besides dorsiflexion at the ankle joint, what other motion occures to get the toes to clear the ground?
Definition
Slight dorsiflexion at the STJ
Term
When does Contact Period begin?
Definition
Heel contact of the same foot
Term
When does Contact Period end?
Definition
FF loading/Toe Off of the opposite foot.
Term
How much of the Stance Phase does Contact Peirod occupy?
Definition
27%
Term
In the normal foot what action is the STJ undergoing through all the Contact Period of Gait?
Definition
Pronation
Term
T/F In the normal foot, Pronation of the STJ should only occur during the Contact Period?
Definition
TRUE
Term
T/F The definitions of pronation for Open Kinetic Chain is different form the Closed Kinetic Chain?
Definition
TRUE
Term
The Open Kinetic Chain definition refers to motion of what structure?
Definition
Calcaneus
Term
What motions occur during Open Kinetic Chain pronation of the Talus?
Definition
Plantarflexion, Inversion, and Adduction
Term
During Closed Kinetic Chain Pronation what motion occurs?
Definition
Eversion of the Calcaneus ONLY (thus, no abduction, due to FF contact or dorsiflexion due to Lateral Arch and stability of Lateral Column.)
Term
What is the "Window to the STJ?"
Definition
Calcaneus (We can tell what the STJ is doing by watching the Calcaneus)
Term
What is the motion of the Talus during CKC pronation?
Definition
Adduction and Plantarflexion
Term
T/F We will see inversion of the Talus during CKC pronation?
Definition
FALSE
Term
Can normal gait occur with an inverted Talus during CKC pronaiton?
Definition
NO
Term
T/F in CKC pronation we still see tri-plane motion occuring?
Definition
TRUE
Term
What motions do we see in the Calcaneus and Talus in CKC pronation?
Definition
Eversion of the Calcaneus and Adduciton and Plantarflexion of the Talus
Term
T/F Most of the shock absorption occurs in the STJ?
Definition
FALSE, in the knee due to flexion
Term
What does pronation of the STJ do to the foot to dissipate shock?
Definition
Turns is into the "Mobile Adapter"
Term
What happens to the foot to make it the "Mobile Adapter?"
Definition
Pronation of the STJ - allows a laxness in the FF allowing it to quickly adapt to terrain when the FF contacts the ground.
Term
Is the term "Loose bag of bones" very accurate of the Mobile Adapter?
Definition
No, it is a Gross Overstatement.
Term
What cause the STJ to pronate through out the Contact Period?
Definition
Internal Rotation of the Leg
Term
The STJ converts ___________________ from internal rotation of the leg to ____________________.
Definition
Transverse Plane Torque/ Frontal Plane Torque
Term
Why is the conversion of internal rotation to Frontal Plane Torque so vital?
Definition
B/c the foot is able to dissipate or adapt to this torque b/c more motion is available in the foot on the frontal plane overall. (There are less Shear Force Vectors to resist frontal plane motions and Joints are designed to handle frontal plane motions better)
Term
What is the position of the Hip at the start of Contact Period?
Definition
Flexed
Term
What is the position of the Hip during Contact Phase?
Definition
Hip begins to Extend
Term
What does the pelvis and thigh do during the Contact period resulting in internal rotation of the Hip?
Definition
Internally Rotate
Term
T/F The Pelvis rotates farther and faster then the Thigh?
Definition
FALSE, thigh farther and faster than the pelvis.
Term
What is the position of the Knee at the start of Contact Period?
Definition
Extended
Term
What does the Knee do during the Contact Period?
Definition
Flexes
Term
Why is Knee flexion so improtant to the Contact Period?
Definition
Assists in absorbing Shock through the leg.
Term
T/F The Tibia internally rotates farther and faster than the thigh in the transvers plane resulting in internal rotation at the knee?
Definition
TRUE
Term
What does the Ankle Joint do from Heel Strike to FF Contact in the Contact Period?
Definition
Plantarflex
Term
How is the Ankle Joint positioned prior to Contact Period?
Definition
Dorsiflexed
Term
B/c of the anatomy of the trochlea of the talus, as the foot planarflexes at the ankle joint it will also _________________.
Definition
Adduction
Term
Vertical Ground Reactive Forces have their 1st peak when?
Definition
The end of the Contact Period
Term
What casues a drop off of vertical forces so that the forces are more evenly though the foot?
Definition
FF Loading
Term
T/F Contack Period is a single limb support period?
Definition
FALSE
Term
What motions cause linear acceleration?
Definition
Transverse and Sagittal plane motion
Term
What does the transvers rotation of the trunk an dskeletal portions result in?
Definition
Linear body movement
Term
What does Sagittal Plane motion of the skeletal parts shift the center of gravity anterior to the center of the foot support?
Definition
Fall forward, muscles will act to control the fall so the body progresses forward.
Term
T/F The FF is influence by muscle activity after the FF touches the ground?
Definition
FALSE
Term
What is the position of the FF at Heel Strike?
Definition
Supinated (inversion) about the LMTJ axis due to the Anterior Tibialis M contracting. (Pronation or Abductiion and dorsiflexion, around OMTJ Axis)
Term
What does pronation of the OMTJ Axis do?
Definition
Locks the FF (B/c of this the Head of the 5th Met contacts the ground first)
Term
What allows for smooth loading from lateral to medial of the FF?
Definition
GRF and relxation of the Tibialis Ant M
Term
Eversion of the Calcaneus causes what motion in the Medial Column?
Definition
Dorsiflexion (Supination of LMTJ Axis)
Term
What is the position of the LMTJ and OMTJ as the FF loads?
Definition
OMTJ is pronated and LMTJ is supinated
