Which determinant of gait is this?
hip and pelvis movement. There is rise and fall happening in the vertical direction, this happens as more weight shifts over the stance limb

which determinant of gait is this?
pelvis will tip up and down during the gait cycle. Tips in the frontal plane, it will move downward during swing and up during stance. Tries to help reduce vertical movement in COM. We want a little bit of movement to help dissipate forces and reduce back load.

Study Notes
Stages of Gait
- There are 7 stages of gait.
- The first 4 stages of gait in order are:
- Initial contact
- Loading response
- Midstance
- Terminal stance
- Stages 5, 6, and 7 of the gait cycle are:
- Preswing
- Initial swing
- Midswing
Phases of Gait
- There are 2 phases of gait: Stance phase and Swing phase.
- The stance phase has 3 subphases: Initial contact, Loading response, and Midstance.
- The swing phase has 3 subphases: Initial swing, Midswing, and Terminal swing.
- Gait is typically 60% stance and 40% swing.
Stride and Support Periods
- 1 stride is equal to the distance from initial contact of one foot to the initial contact of the same foot again.
- Flat foot/contralateral toe off marks the beginning of a double support period.
- Terminal stance indicates the end of the double support period.
Determinants of Gait
- There are 6 determinants of gait.
- The determinants of gait and their functions are:
- Hip and pelvis movement: Helps to reduce vertical movement in the center of mass (COM).
- Pelvic tilt: Tips in the frontal plane, moving downward during swing and upward during stance, to help reduce vertical movement in COM.
- Knee flexion: Adjusts leg length during the stance phase to maintain hip height.
- Ankle mechanism: Lengthens the leg at initial contact and toe off to help maintain hip height.
- Lateral pelvis shift: Helps to reduce vertical movement in COM.
- Arm swing: Helps to reduce rotational movement in COM.
