Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
show 0-30 degrees  
🗑
show 0-15 degrees  
🗑
What is the knee flexion requirement for normal gait?   show
🗑
What is the knee extension requirement for normal gait?   show
🗑
show 0-10 degrees  
🗑
What is the ankle plantarflexion requirement for normal gait?   show
🗑
show Quadriceps(prepares for loading responce) & ankle dorsiflexors, Hamstrings- to extend the hip and prepare for loading responces  
🗑
show pretibial eccentric contraction, , Quadriceps eccentrically to absorb the shock, Hamstrings to extend the hip, Hip ABD stabilize the pelvis in the frontal plane  
🗑
show ankle plantarflexors & hip abductors to stabilize the pelvis, hip extensors control forward trunk movement  
🗑
What are the muscle activation patterns at terminal stance (heel off)?   show
🗑
What are the muscle activation patterns at preswing (toe off)?   show
🗑
show pretibial initiate DF, knee flexors, hip flexors, and hip adductors,  
🗑
What are the muscle activation patterns at midswing?   show
🗑
What are the muscle activation patterns at terminal swing (deceleration)?   show
🗑
What is the average BOS of an adult?   show
🗑
show 110-120 steps/min  
🗑
What is the average degree of toe out for an adult?   show
🗑
show 8 degrees (4 degrees forward with the swing leg and 4 degrees backward with the stance leg, to maintain the balance thorax moves towards the opposite side. Helps to regulate speed of walking  
🗑
show Oxygen rate (comfortable pace): 12ml/kg x min & 5.5 kcal/min (level surfaces, depending on surface and body weight)  
🗑
What increases energy costs of walking?   show
🗑
When is the peak activity of the tibialis anterior during the gait cycle?   show
🗑
When is the peak activity of the gastroc-soleus group during the gait cycle?   show
🗑
show During periods of single support in stance phase and before toe off to initiate swing phase  
🗑
show During late swing phase: Responsible for decelerating the unsupported limb  
🗑
How much lateral pelvic shift (PELVIS LIST) occurs during the gait cycle and which muscle group controls it?   show
🗑
What effect does increased cadence have on the gait cycle?   show
🗑
what mm works together to shorten the stance limb in midstance (control the rise of COG)   show
🗑
what mm works together to lengthen the stance limb   show
🗑
how much is the vertical displacement of COG   show
🗑
show 2.5 - 5 cm total motion  
🗑
show 5 cm antrior to the S2 vertebrae  
🗑
what is the normal stride length   show
🗑
Vertical Pelvis Shift   show
🗑
Torque on ankle at initial contact   show
🗑
Torque on knee at initial contact   show
🗑
Torque on hip at initial contact   show
🗑
show Planter flexion torque quickly forces the foot to the floor, and then diminishes in late loading response  
🗑
Torque on knee at loading response   show
🗑
Torque on hip at loading response   show
🗑
show A markedly increasing dorsiflexion torque occurs  
🗑
Torque on knee during mid stance   show
🗑
Torque on the hip during mid stance   show
🗑
