| Initial Contact (Early Stance): Wide walking base; heel centers more than 10cm (4") apart (anatomic cause) | -ABDuction contracture -poor balance -short contralateral leg -requires waking aid | ||||
| Initial Contact (Early Stance): Internal (external) rotation of limb (orthotic cause) | -uprights incorrectly aligned in transverse plane -requires orthotic control (rotation control straps, pelvic band) | ||||
| Initial Contact (Early Stance): Internal (external) rotation of limb (anatomic cause) | -internal (external) hip rotators spastic -external (internal) hip rotators weak -antetorsion (forward hip) -retroversion (backward hip) -weak quads: external rotation | ||||
| Late Stance: Inadequate transition; delayed or absent transfer of weight over the forefoot (orthotic cause) | -PF stop -inadequate DF stop | ||||
| Late Stance: Inadequate transition; delayed or absent transfer of weight over the forefoot (anatomic cause) | -weak PF -Achilles tendon sprain or rupture -pes calcaneus -forefoot pain | ||||
