Study Notes
Gait Overview
- Gait refers to the pattern of walking or movement.
Gait Components
- The two main components of gait are the Stance Phase and the Swing Phase.
Gait Cycle Phases
- The Stance Phase involves the reference limb being in contact with the floor.
- The Swing Phase involves the reference limb not being in contact with the floor.
- During the Double Support Phase, the swinging limb overtakes the limb in stance.
- The Initial Contact Phase involves the initial contact of the forefoot with the ground.
Gait Kinematics
- The two basic parameters of gait kinematics are the movement of the body in space and the movement of the joints in relation to each other.
Gait Cycle Purposes
- The purpose of the Stance Phase is to provide support and stability.
- The purpose of the Swing Phase is to propel the body forward.
Gait Temporal Variables
- The temporal variable not mentioned in the text is Cadence.
