Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of the knee extensors during stair ascent?

  • To generate most of the energy to move the body forward (correct)
  • To facilitate the swing phase by flexing the knee
  • To generate eccentric force for energy absorption
  • To halt forward motion during foot placement

Which phase of the sit to stand movement begins just before the buttocks are lifted from the seat?

  • Weight shift or flexion momentum (correct)
  • Lift or extension
  • Transfer of momentum
  • Stabilization phase

During the controlled descent phase of stair walking, which muscle groups are primarily engaged?

  • Hamstrings and soleus muscles
  • Eccentric contractions of the gastrocnemius and quadriceps (correct)
  • Hip flexors and quadriceps
  • Ankle dorsiflexors and tibialis anterior

Structured Movement Analysis

A structured way to observe natural movement patterns and strategies during a task, aiming to understand movement dysfunction.

Movement Continuum

A framework for organizing movement observations, from initial conditions through initiation, execution, termination, and outcome.

Task Regression

Simplifying a task to make it less challenging, improving success in performing the task.

Task Progression

Increasing the complexity of a task to make it more challenging.
