Stages of gait:
Swing
-Preswing
-Midswing
Stance
-Terminal stance
-Midstance
What percent of gait is swing and stance?
40, 60
Mid-stance involves which motion of the foot?
Plantar flexion
Patterns of gait during running:
Swing
Contact
Flight/Float
The interval in the gait cycle between initial contact with one foot and then the other foot. (right then left)
Step
The interval in the gait cycle between two sequential initial contacts with the same foot. (right to right)
Stride
Average degree of toe out
About 7 degrees
During gait the cycle the pelvis has a(n) ______ tilt of around ___ degrees.
anterior, 8
In which plane can a rise in each hemipelvis be seen during gait?
Frontal
During gait, the pelvis moves ____ 1-2 inches and _____ about 2 inches
laterally, vertically
Does a decrease in hip flexion or extension affect gait the most?
Extension
Ankle (talocrural) joint kinematics are characterized by three rockers:
- First: plantar flexion immediately on contact
- Second: dorsiflexion during early-mid stance phase
- Third: sudden plantar flexion prior to toe-off
- The first and second rockers are designed to absorb more of the energy (shock) of landing, while the third provides much of the energy used to propel the leg forwards into swing (push-off).
3 rockers in gait:
Heel
Ankle
Forefoot
During the heel rocker phase of gait the tibialis anterior and quadriceps are both active in which type of contraction?
Eccentric and Concentric
Which are primarily active during the ankle rocker stage of gait?
Gastrocnemius and soleus in eccentric contraction
Which muscles are primarily active during the forefoot heel rocker of gait?
Gastrocnemius and soleus in eccentric contraction
During heel strike the sub-talar joint is in which position?
Supination
During mid-stance of gait the sub-talar joint is in which position
Pronation
During toe-off of gait the sub-talar joint is in which position?
Supination
During this gait pattern the person leans backward to compensate for weak hip extensors
Gluteus Maxiumus
During this type of gait the person will rotate the limb externally and use the hip abductors to achieve swing-through
Hip Flexor Gait
During this type of gait the person will limp or change posture to avoid pain
Antalgic Gait
Gait which involves stiffness, laxity, or deformity
Arthogenic
Gait which produces knee extension during swing and keeps the knee stable after heel contact by controlling the knee flexion
Quadriceps Gait
Gait that involves weak tibialis anterior
Slap Foot Gait
Gait involving poor sensation or lack of muscle coordination
Ataxic Gait
Gait involving shuffling or rapid short steps, the neck and trunk and knees are flexed
Parkinsons Gait
Natural curves that occur in the thoracic and sacral spine
Kyphotic
Curve that is concave anteriorly, curve that is convex anteriorly.
kyphotic, lordotic
Normal curve of the:
cervical lordosis
thoracic kyphosis
lumbar lordosis
sacral kyphosis
cervical: 20-40 degrees
thoracic: 20-40 degrees
lumbar: 40-60 degrees
sacral: fuse in kyphotic curve
Purpose of the spine:
Provide movement
Provide support
Provide control
Protect vital organs
Information highway and immediate processing center
4 general steps of rehabilitation:
1. Reduce the pain
2. Lengthen shortened muscles
3. Restore ROM
4. Strengthen muscles
Movements of the spine:
flexion
extension
lateral flexion
rotation
Injury to the nerve roots is referred to as:
Radiculopathy
Injury to the spinal cord is referred to as:
Myelopathy
What provides nerve root innervation to the skin?
Dermatome
What provides nerve root innervation to the muscles?
Myotome
A condition of limited neck motion in which the child will hold the head to one side with the chin pointing to the opposite side; usually due to tight sternocleidomastoid
Torticollis
Condition where there is intervertebral disc degeneration and facet joint osteoarthritis. Pain can be bilateral or unilateral.
Stenosis
Treatment of Stenosis
Rest
Anti-inflammatory
Therapy to increase strength and flexibility
Surgery to widen spinal canal
Condition where articulating cartilage of facet joints breaks and bone spurs form in place of missing cartilage
Facet Syndrome
Lordosis is associated with a ______ tilt of pelvis, which kyphosis is associated with a ______ tilt of the pelvis
Anterior
Posterior
Which muscles would be tight with lumbar lordosis?
lower back
A sagging stomach is known as which condition?
Abdominal Ptosis
Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of more than _______ degrees and requires surgery at about ______ degrees
10, 50
Test used to screen for scoliosis:
Adam's Test
During scoliosis, which side of the curve has more space?
Concave
Inward movement of the sternum which can displace the heart, affect respiration, and lead to kyphosis
Pectus Excavatum
Outward and downward projection of the sternum that can impair the effectiveness of breathing by restricting ventilation volume
Pectus Carinatum
Sternum projects forward and upward
Barrel Chest
The 1st Law of Fryette states:
If the spine is in a erect neutral or mid-range position, then lateral flexion (side bending) and rotation occur in opposite directions
“Neutral Mechanics”
The 2nd Law of Fryette states:
- If spine is in a flexed or extended position, lateral flexion and rotation occur in the same direction.
- “Non-neutral mechanics”
- This occurs when there is alteration in th anteroposterior curve into forward flexion or backward bending
The 3rd Law of Fryette states:
If a segment of the spine is moved into any of the cardinal planes of motion, available motion in the other two planes is reduced.
The 4 stages of herniation
Protrusion
Prolapse
Extrusion
Sequestration
What does the standing flexion test indicate?
It indicates proper and equal movement of the hips.
What does the sitting flexion test indicate?
It indicates which joint is affected, the affected side will be lower
What does the Gillet's/Stork test indicate?
If the SI joint on the side which the knee is flexed moves minimally or up, the joint is said to be hypomobile or blocked
What does the pen mark test indicate?
When externally rotated, the leg should lengthen, and internal rotation should cause the leg to shorten. If not, then tightness, or impingement is occuring
What does the supine to sit test indicate?
If one leg moves up more than the other, functional leg length difference is expected.
What does the SLR and bow tests indicate?
Pain before 70 degrees indicates SI joint problems.
