Study Notes
Gait Deviations and Orthotic Causes
- A common orthotic cause of toe drag during the swing phase of gait is inadequate toe spring or toe box height.
- Inadequate medial or lateral wedging may result in hip hiking during the swing phase of gait.
Vaulting and Anatomical Causes
- A potential anatomical cause for vaulting during the swing phase of gait is a plantarflexed first ray or a tight gastrocnemius.
Weight Transfer and Anatomical Causes
- During the late stance phase of gait, an anatomical cause that may lead to delayed or absent weight transfer over the forefoot is a plantarflexed first ray or a tight gastrocnemius.
Transition and Orthotic Causes
- An orthotic cause associated with ineffective transition during the late stance phase of gait is inadequate heel-to-toe offset.
Circumduction and Anatomical Causes
- An anatomical cause that may contribute to circumduction during the swing phase of gait is a tight iliopsoas or a hip flexion contracture.
Static Examination and Objectives
- The main objective of the static examination during orthotic evaluation is to identify any anatomical or structural abnormalities.
Gait Deviations and Anatomical Causes
- An anatomical cause that can lead to a 'toes first' gait deviation in early stance is a tight gastrocnemius or a plantarflexed first ray.
- Inadequate traction from the sole can be a cause of 'toes first' gait deviation observed during early stance.
Orthotic Causes and Gait Deviations
- An orthotic cause leading to excessive knee flexion in early stance is inadequate stance phase knee extension.
- An anatomical cause that might result in knee hyperextension during early stance is a tight hamstring or a weak quadriceps.
- An orthotic cause that could lead to trunk flexion in early stance is inadequate stance phase hip extension.
- Excessive medial/lateral foot contact in early stance can be contributed by an anatomical cause such as a tight or weak peroneal muscle.
Calf Band and Orthotic Causes
- An excessively deep calf band in an orthosis during early stance can lead to a 'toes first' gait deviation.
- An orthotic cause that could lead to 'foot slap' during early stance is inadequate stance phase ankle dorsiflexion.
Anatomical and Orthotic Causes
- An anatomical cause that could contribute to 'toes first' gait deviation in early stance is a tight gastrocnemius or a plantarflexed first ray.
- An orthotic cause that could result in excessive knee flexion in early stance is inadequate stance phase knee extension.
