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.
