Study Notes
Gait Analysis and Postural Evaluation
- Factors affecting posture: effusion, poor posture, repetitive activity, and soft-tissue imbalance
- Inspection of posture includes history of MOI, body types, Janda's Lower Cross Syndrome, and postural types
- Assessment methods for LBP include measuring leg-length discrepancy and palpation techniques
- Muscles involved in LBP include erector spinae, multifidus, and gluteus medius/maximus
- Common postural deviations include excessive pronation, supination, calcaneovalgus, calcaneovarus, genu recurvatum, genu valgum, and genu varum
- Gait terminology encompasses step, step length, step width, stride, gait cadence, velocity, stride time, stride length, kinematics, and kinetics
- Gait evaluation methods include quantitative measurements and qualitative visual analysis
- The process of gait involves alternating between stance and swing phases, with specific characteristics for each phase
- Efficient gait characteristics include minimal side-to-side motion, maximum forward motion, and a sinusoidal curve for center of gravity
- Running phases involve stance and swing, with specific joint movements and triplanar ground reaction forces
- Differences between running and walking gait include flight phase, ground reaction forces, and stance phase timing
- Interventions for gait deviations include guided cue words, strength training, flexibility exercises, and different shoes
