100

The point when the entire body is over the foot

What is mid-stance?

100
This group of measurements are made without regard to forces

What are kinematics?

100
During the swing phase, the hip is moving in this direction.

What is flexion?

100

This muscle fires eccentrically after initial contact to lower the foot to the ground

What is the tibialis anterior / ankle dorsiflexors?

100

This joint flexes and extends about 20 to 30 degrees throughout the gait cycle

What is the hip

100

This is the maximum VGRF by bodyweight

What is 110% BW

100

This Detroit-based rock group began in the early 70s, whose 4 rockers are known for their facial makeup; they are still touring today.

What is KISS?

200

These 2 phases share the same name in both standard and RLA terminology

What are mid stance and mid swing?

200

This task occurs when only one foot is on the ground at a time and occurs twice during a single gait cycle

What is single limb support?

200

During the stance phase, the ipsilateral arm should be moving in this direction

What is extension

200

This muscle eccentrically controls ankle dorsiflexion during the stance phase

What is the gastroc-soleus / calf?

200

60 degrees of knee flexion occurs at this phase

What is initial swing?
200

The VGRF peaks during this phase

What is early mid stance?

200

Terminal Stance

What is the forefoot rocker

300

Standard terminology for the phase just before the heel hits the ground at the end of the swing phase

What is deceleration?

300

The distance measured between right heel strike and left heel strike

What is step length?
300

The knee moves in this direction of motion during the swing phase.

What is extension?

300

The hamstrings fire eccentrically to slow knee extension during which phase?

What is terminal swing?

300

This joint remains neutral throughout swing phase, and extends at the end of the stance phase

What is the first MTP

300

At initial contact, the VGRF passes anterior to these 2 joints

What are the knee and hip

300

Pre Swing

What is the toe rocker

400

This phase begins with maximal knee flexion and ends when the tibia is perpendicular to the ground

What is initial swing

400

Typical cadence averages this per minute

What is about 100 to 120 steps per minute

400

The subtalar joint is in this position during the stance phase

What is neutral

400

A drop of the pelvis on the swing side indicates weakness of which muscle on the stance side?

What is the gluteus medius?

400

In the frontal plane and transverse planes, this joint deviates about 5 degrees in each direction, but varies little in the sagittal plane

What is the pelvis

400

The anterior tibial muscles counter the plantarflexor moment of the ankle at this phase

What is initial contact

400

Mid Stance

What is the ankle rocker

500

Running decreases the length of these 2 phases

What are the loading response (Foot Flat) and pre-swing phases (Toe off)?

500

The functional classification of activities from pre-swing to terminal swing

What is Swing Leg Advancement

500

During the swing phase, the pelvis should be rotating in this direction

What is forward?

500

Which muscles fire eccentrically during terminal swing to slow hip flexion?

What are the hamstrings?

500

This is normal pelvic rotation during the entire gait cycle 

What is 8 to 10 degrees?

500

This muscle counteracts the medial VGRF in the frontal plane to maintain a level pelvis

What is the gluteus medius

500

Initial Stance

What is the heel rocker?
