| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Initial contact hip muscle action | Extensors, Abductors, and Adductors isometrically contract to STABLIZE |
| Initial contact knee muscle action | Extensors/flexors isometrically contract |
| Initial contact ankle muscle action | Dorsiflexors Isometrically contract to maintain neutral position |
| Loading response hip muscle action | Extensors and Adductors isometrically contract to maintain hip position Abductors contract eccentrically to limit lateral pelvic tilting |
| Loading response knee muscle action | Quads contract eccentrically |
| Loading response ankle muscle action | DF contract eccentrically Late in the phase, PF contract |
| Midstance hip muscle action | Glute med isometrically contracts to maintain hip/pelvic position Iliopsoas contract eccentrically to control hip extension |
| Midstance knee muscle action | minimal activity |
| Midstance ankle muscle action | ROM moves from 5 PF to 5 DF PF contracts eccentrically to control DF |
| Terminal stance hip muscle action | Iliopsoas contract eccentrically to control hip extension Abductors continue to stabilize |
| Terminal stance knee muscle action | minimal activity |
| Terminal stance ankle muscle action | Initially PF contract eccentrically then, rapidly switch to concentric |
| Pre swing hip muscle action | Flexors begin to work concentrically (flexion aids with knee flexion) |
| Pre swing knee muscle action | Momentum of body, hamstrings, and PF aid in knee flexion |
| Pre swing ankle muscle action | PF activity ends DF begin to activate to allow for foot clearance |
| Initial swing hip muscle action | Flexors continue to concentrically contract |
| Initial swing knee muscle action | Hip flexion continues to contribute to knee flexion hamstrings concentrically contract to assist knee flexion (greatest amount of knee flexion |
| Initial swing ankle muscle action | DF contract concentrically Ankle DF from 15 PF -> 5 PF |
| Midswing hip muscle action | flexors cont. to work concentrically but activity decreases Momentum of tibia aids in hip flexion (greatest amount of hip flexion) |
| Midswing knee muscle action | Extends from 60 flex-> 25 flex Momentum of tibia contributes to knee extension hamstrings contract eccentrically to control knee extension Tibia moves vertically |
| Midswing ankle muscle action | DF contract isometrically Ankle in neutral Allows for foot clearance |
| Terminal swing hip muscle action | Pelvis is anteriorly rotated 5 degrees Hamstrings decelerate limb Glute max and adductors isometrically contract |
| Terminal swing Knee muscle action | Extending from 25 flex-> 5 flex Momentum of tibia assist in knee ext. Quad concentric contraction Hamstring eccentrically contract to control knee ext. |
| Terminal swing ankle muscle action | DF cont. to contract isometrically Prepping for initial contact |
