Study Notes
- Human gait involves three fundamental tasks: weight acceptance, single limb support, and limb advancement.
- Stance phase plays a role in all three tasks, with its subphases contributing to varying degrees.
- Initial contact and loading response are responsible for weight acceptance.
- Single limb stance occurs at midstance and is the most precarious for balance.
- Limb advancement creates forward motion and includes terminal stance and preswing subphases.
- Swing phase is concerned with only limb advancement.
- Limb advancement during the swing phase requires sufficient clearance of the foot from the floor.
- The limb flexes at the hip, knee, and ankle during the first two subphases of the swing phase to functionally shorten the limb.
- The knee begins rapid extension in terminal swing to lengthen the limb and increase step length.
- Table 12-2 summarizes the requirements of gait, the purpose of each subphase, and the ranges of motion and primary movements involved.
