Don't Call Me Shorty
The Ten Meter Walk Test primarily assess this
This percentage of the gait cycle is typically spent in the stance phase
What is 60%?
Maximum hip extension is achieved in this phase
What is terminal stance?
During midstance, the primary muscle group responsible for stabilizing the pelvis in the frontal plane
What is the hip abductors?
The body’s center of mass reaches its highest point during this phase
What is midstance?
This term best describes the number of steps taken per unit of time
What is Cadence?
The main objective of the loading response phase
What is Weight acceptance?
The primary movement of the knee during initial swing
What is flexion?
The function of the pretibial muscles in initial contact
What is Control foot slap?
The point at which potential energy is the greatest in the gait cycle.
What is at its highest point in midstance?
The average comfortable walking speed for healthy adults
What is 1.3m/s?
This phases of gait includes the "ankle rocker"
What is Midstance?
When the ankle reaches maximum dorsiflexion
What is Terminal stance?
The primary action of the gastrocnemius muscle in terminal stance
What is Ankle plantarflexion?
The primary function of the erector spinae muscles during the gait cycle
What is to control forward trunk momentum?
The normal range for step width in healthy adults
What is 5-10 cm?
Double limb support in the gait cycle occurs this many time?
What is 2?
The correct range for knee flexion required for toe clearance in mid-swing
What is ~60 degrees?
The gluteus maximus is most active during this phase of the gait cycle to control trunk movement
What is initial contact?
The lowest point of the body’s center of mass typically occurs at this point if the gait cycle
What is loading response?
"Step length" refers to this distance
What is heel strike of one foot and heel strike of the opposite foot?
This muscle group primarily controls knee flexion
What is the quadriceps?
The subtalar joint undergoes this movement during early stance to accommodate ground reaction forces
What is Pronation?
This muscle group helps decelerate the forward swing of the thigh
What is the hamstrings?
This principle explains why the body passively conserves energy as it moves forward during stance
What is the Inverted Pendulum Model?
