Gait Kinesiology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Stride Length | distance between heel contacts of same foot (avg 144cm) |
| Step Length | distance between heel contacts of opposite feet (avg 72cm or 28in) |
| Step Width | lateral distance between heel center of successive steps (avg 8-10cm) |
| • Foot Angle | degree of “toe-out” (avg 5-7 degrees) |
| Cadence | step rate or number of steps per minute (110steps/min) |
| Stride Time | the time for a full gait cycle to be completed |
| Step Time | the time for completion of a right or left step |
| Walking Speed | the distance covered in a set amount of time (normal speed 3mph) |
| Walking speed is increased through what? | stride length and/or cadence |
| Once maximum stride length is attained what happens with walking speed? | Walking speed can only be increased with cadence |
| During normal walking speed in one gait cycle, what % is stance phase and what % is swing phase? | stance phase is 60%, swing phase is 40% |
| What is stance phase in the gait cycle? | from right heel strike to right toe off |
| What is swing phase in the gait cycle? | from right toe off to next right heel strike |
| How does slower speeds affect limb support? | it increases double limb support time to assist with stability |
| What happens in the gait cycle with faster speeds? | eventually double limb support will disappear (definition of running) and be replaced by moments of having both limbs in swing phase simultaneously |
| In stance phase, the classic term "Heel strike" is the same as what term in Rancho Los Amigos? | Initial contact |
| In stance phase, the classic term "Foot flat" is the same as what term in Rancho Los Amigos? | Loading response |
| In stance phase, the classic term "Mid stance" is the same as what term in Rancho Los Amigos? | Mid stance |
| In stance phase, the classic term "Heel off" is the same as what term in Rancho Los Amigos? | Terminal stance |
| In stance phase, the classic term "Toe off" is the same as what term in Rancho Los Amigos? | Pre-swing |
| In the SWING phase, the classic term "early swing (acceleration)" is the same as what term in Rancho Los Amigos? | Initial swing |
| In SWING phase, the classic term "Mid swing" is the same as what term in Rancho Los Amigos? | Mid swing |
| In SWING phase, the classic term "Late swing (deceleration)" is the same as what term in Rancho Los Amigos? | terminal swing |
| Heel Strike | The moment the heel contacts the ground: 0% |
| Foot Flat | The moment the entire plantar surface in contact with ground: 8% |
| Mid stance | the moment the body weight passes over the leg or the moment where swing foot passes stance foot: 30% |
| Heel off | the moment the heel comes off the ground: 40% |
| Toe off | the moment the toes come off the ground: 60% |
