DPT 700: Gait

Fergalicious definition make them boys go loco

100

This is the longitudinal distance between initial contact on the right leg and the next initial contact on the right leg

Stride length

200

This is the longitudinal distance between initial contact on the right leg to initial contact on the left leg

Step length

300

This is the number of steps per unit of time (i.e. steps per minute)

Cadence

400

This is the force that is created by the ground when a force is applied to it

Ground reaction force

500

This is the horizontal distance between the heel centers of two consecutive heel contacts

Step Width

This is 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain and 100% reason to remember the name

100

Around which percentage of the gait cycle does the heel begin to rise?

~30%

200

Identify the two portions in the gait cycle where an individual is in double limb support

0-10% and 50-60%

300

What phase of the gait cycle begins when the swing foot is next to the contralateral foot?

Mid-swing

400

What phase of the gait cycle ends when the contralateral limb is lifted off of the ground?

Loading response

500

During which percentages of the gait cycle is an individual in midstance?

10-30%

These boots are made for walkin' and that's just what they'll do. One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
