10 Questions
What is the functional significance of excessive hip flexion during mid swing?
Assisting with foot clearance when ankle PF is excessive
Which underlying cause can lead to excessive hip flexion?
IT band contracture
What postural errors can be introduced by excessive hip flexion in mid stance?
Forward trunk lean, lumbar spine lordosis, and a flexed knee with increased DF
How does excessive hip flexion during WA (weight acceptance) affect body segments?
It increases demand on the hip extensors as body weight rapidly drops onto the outstretched limb
What is the functional significance of excessive hip flexion during mid stance?
It increases the demand on the hip extensors and quadriceps
What role does compensation for excess knee flexion and ankle DF play in causing excessive hip flexion?
It increases demand on the hip flexors and quadriceps
What can excess hip flexion during weight acceptance (WA) potentially increase?
Friction requirements between the foot and the floor surface
Which postural errors can excessive hip flexion in mid stance introduce?
Forward trunk lean, lumbar spine lordosis, and a flexed knee with increased dorsiflexion
Which of the following underlying causes can lead to excessive hip flexion?
Hamstring contracture
What is the primary role of excess hip flexion during mid swing?
Assisting with foot clearance when ankle plantar flexion is excessive
