Varus

Bowed knee


E.g. cowboy knees

Valgus knees

Goalie knees

Pes planus

Flat foot

Pes cavus

High arch feet

Two phases if gait cycle

Stance


Swing

Stance phase

60% of the time


Five stages


1. Initial contact (heel strike)


2. Load response (foot flat)


3. Midstance (single leg stance)


4. terminal stance (heel off)


5. Pre-swing (toe off)

Inital contact (stance phase 1)

One foot is absorbing shock and accepting body weight of initial contact (other foot is coming off the floor)


Period if double leg support

Joint movements of inital contact

Hip: 20-40° of flexion moving towards extension, slight addiction and external rotation


Knee: full extension before contact, flexing as contact us made


Foot/ankle: supination (inverted) at contact move into plantar flexion

Load response

Foot comes in contact with floor

Stance 3 mid stance

Period if single leg support


Foot directly under body's weight (weight evenly distributed over foot)


Joint movements at mid stance

Hip: moving through neutral position


Pelvis rotating posteriorly


Knee: 15 degrees flexion moving towards extension


Foot: neutral (3° dorsiflexion)

Terminal stance

Stance leg is unloading weight


Period if double support

Pre swing

Acceleration phase: body propelled forward


Toe pushes leg forward (push off) and foot comes off the floor

Pre swing state joint movements

Hip: moving towards 10 degrees extension; abduction and external rotation


Knee: moving from near full extension to 40° flexion


Foot/ankle: supination; 20 degrees plantar flexion

Swing phase allows for

Toes of swing leg to clear floor


Allows for leg length adjustments


Allows leg to swing to advance forward


3 stages of swing phase

1. Intial swing (acceleration)


2. Mid swing


3. Terminal swing (deceleration)

Inital swing

Foot is lifted off ground


Rapid knee flexion and ankles dorsiflexion allows for acceleratiob

Mid swing

Occurs when seeing is adjacent to weight bearing leg


Weight bearing leg is in mid stance

Terminal swing

Declaration phase


Swinging leg slows down in preparation for inital contact with ground


Require active quads (knee extension) and hamstring (hip flexion) muscles

Knees durning gait

Extend during inital contact


Flexes slightly under load


Extend durning mid stance

Hip durning gait

Motion interdeoendent in pelvis


Small changes in hip angle create large change in foot position


Maximum extension if at least 0 degrees should occur in terminal stance

Pelivis

Stable in all 3 plans (not motionless)

Foot durning inital contact

Must be flexible to absorb shock in loading, provide stability durning mid stance, rigid during push off (level)

Mid stance foot

Tibia progresses over foot


Eccentric contraction if plantarflexors to control dorsiflexion

Terminal stance

Concentric contacting of plantar flexors to push off (eccentric contraction if toe flexors to control tie extension and fibularis longus stabilize 1st ray

Muscle activity durning gait

Greatest energy required at start and end of stance phase.


Used to


1. Accelerate/decelerate


2 absorb shock


3. Stabilize body or its segments

Shock absorber/decelerators muscles

1. Quads (durning start if stance phase, decelerate knee flexion)


2. Ankle dorsiflexirs (TA) decelerate foot durning intial contact (at peak for keep foot off the ground) and decelerates foot to ground absorbing shock


3. Hamstrings: knee decelerators durning swing and accelerator during early stance phase

Stabilizer durning walking

1. Hip extensions and torsion muscle (transfer weight(


2. Gluteus maximus (stabilize spine)


3. Gluteus medius and minimus and TF (stabilize pelvis laterally on femur)


4. Erector spinae (balance head arms, truck on pelvis

Accelerators

1. Posterior calf propels leg forward


2. Tibialis and fibularis provide blance and control durning weight bearing


3. foot and dorsiflexors hold foot off ground


4. Thigh accelerators increase hip flexion to keep leg off ground
