Questions and Answers

What is the main factor responsible for the rotation of the pelvis during walking?

Pelvic-on-femoral adduction and abduction on the swing limb

Eccentric activation of the hip abductors on the stance limb (correct)

Concentric activation of the hip abductors on the swing limb

The movement of the trunk during gait cycle

What happens to the left iliac crest during weight acceptance on the right lower extremity?

It rises above the height of the right iliac crest

It drops below the height of the right iliac crest (correct)

It remains at the same height as the right iliac crest

It rotates about 10-15 degrees due to pelvic-on-femoral adduction and abduction on the swing limb

What is responsible for the elevation of the left iliac crest from 20% to 60% of the gait cycle?

Pelvic-on-femoral adduction and abduction on the stance limb

Concentric activation of the hip abductors on the swing limb (correct)

Study Notes

Frontal plane motion of the pelvis during walking can be observed by watching the iliac crests rise and fall in relation to the horizontal plane.
The pelvis rotates about 10-15 degrees due to pelvic-on-femoral adduction and abduction on the stance limb.
During weight acceptance on the right lower extremity, the left iliac crest drops below the height of the right iliac crest due to pelvic-on-femoral adduction of the right stance hip.
The downward motion of the left side of the pelvis is controlled by eccentric activation of the right hip abductors.
From 20% to 60% of the gait cycle, the left iliac crest is elevated by concentric activation of the right hip abductors.
This is assisted by a slight shift of the trunk toward the right side, reducing external torque demands on the right hip abductors.
The elevation of the left iliac crest on the swing limb is the result of pelvic-on-femoral abduction of the right stance hip.
Throughout the swing phase on the right, a similar pattern occurs with the right iliac crest.
This pattern of pelvic motion is important for maintaining balance during walking.
Observing pelvic motion can be useful in diagnosing gait abnormalities.
