    Study Notes

    • The gait cycle is subdivided from 0% to 100%.
    • Heel or foot contact with the ground is considered the start of the gait cycle.
    • A full gait cycle for the right lower extremity can be divided into two major phases: stance and swing.
    • Stance phase occurs as the right foot is on the ground, supporting the body’s weight.
    • Swing phase occurs as the right foot is in the air, being advanced forward for the next contact with the ground.
    • The body experiences two periods of double-limb support and two periods of single-limb support within a gait cycle.
    • As gait speed increases, the percentage of the gait cycle spent in periods of double-limb support becomes shorter.
    • During running, the periods of double-limb support disappear altogether.
    • At a slow walking speed, the periods of double-limb support occupy an increasingly greater percentage of the gait cycle.
    • A slower gait provides greater stability because both feet are on the ground simultaneously for a greater percentage of the cycle.
