Study Notes
Gait Cycle Phases
- The swing phase has a sub-phase where the foot is completely off the ground
- Heel lift off the ground occurs during the second sub-phase of the stance phase
- The second sub-phase of the stance phase is called mid-stance
- The swing phase is further divided into eight sub-phases
- Ground reaction forces are generated during the stance phase
- During late swing phase, the knee is in a flexed position
- The ankle predominantly exhibits plantar flexion during the stance phase
- The primary hip movement during midstance in the gait cycle is hip extension
- Stride length involves the distance between consecutive initial contacts of the same foot
- Step width represents the mediolateral distance between the left and right foot during gait analysis
