At the end of the session, you should be able to:  Explain the importance of studying gait in PT and OT  Identify fundamental requirements of normal gait  Define the phases and sub-phases of gait and tasks accomplished by these

At the end of the session, you should be able to:  Describe gait in terms of kinematic and kinetic variables  Explain the “determinants” of gait  Describe changes in aging  Describe effects of common pathological conditions on gait

Appreciation of our own locomotor ability  Knowledge of gait is important in understanding human function  Knowledge of gait can aid in identifying abnormalities and, thus, care needs of patients in PT and OT 

Others ◦ Intact musculoskeletal system ◦ Normal muscle tone ◦ Intact sensory system

Tasks accomplished by gait  Gait cycle: 

◦ Phases ◦ Sub-phases

Time and distance parameters of gait  Relationships among gait variables 

Tasks accomplished by gait  Weight acceptance  Single limb support  Limb advancement

Gait cycle phases  Gait cycle, stride, step  Stance ◦ Single limb support (SLS) ◦ Double limb support (DLS) 

Swing

Gait cycle sub-phases (STANCE)  Initial contact  Loading response  Midstance  Terminal stance  Preswing



Initial contact

Gait cycle sub-phases (SWING)  Initial swing  Midswing  Terminal swing

Midswing



Terminal swing



Traditional terminology ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦

Heel strike (HS) Foot flat (FF) Midstance (MSt) Heel off (HO) Toe off (TO)



Traditional terminology ◦ Acceleration (Acc) ◦ Midswing (MSw) ◦ Deceleration (Dec)

Time and distance gait variables  Stride length and stride time  Step length and step time  Stance time and swing time  SLS time and DLS time  Base / step width

Time and distance gait variables  Foot angle  Gait velocity: free, fast, slow  Cadence  Period of “double float”

Relationships among some variables  Gait velocity and cadence  Gait velocity and step length  Gait velocity and SLS time  Gait velocity and DLS time

The equivalent of heel strike in the Rancho Los Amigos terminogy is: A. Initial contact B. Loading response C. Preswing D. Initial swing

This sub-phase of stance occurs from the time the contralateral foot gets into contact with the ground until the reference foot lifts off the ground: A. Terminal stance B. Preswing C. Loading response D. None of the above

With an increase in gait velocity, the following will increase logically, EXCEPT: A. Cadence B. Step length C. DLS time D. None of the above



Description of joint motions that occur during gait



Ideally, description should encompass all three planes of motion



Often, sagittal motions are described (simplistically)



HS – FF

0 – 15 deg p/flex



FF – MSt

15 deg p/flex – 10 deg d/flex



MSt – HO

10 – 15 deg d/flex



HO – TO

15 deg d/flex – 20 deg p/flex

Acc – MSw

d/flex - neutral



MSw – Dec

neutral

HS – FF

0 – 15 deg flex



FF – MSt

15 deg flex – 5 deg flex



MSt – HO

5 deg flex - neutral



HO – TO

0 – 40 deg flex

Acc – MSw

40 – 60 flex



MSw

60 deg flex – 30 deg flex



Dec

30 deg flex - neutral

HS – FF

FF – MSt

30 – 5 deg flex



MSt – HO-TO

5 deg flex - 10 deg ext



Acc - MSw

20 – 30 deg flex



MSw – Dec

30 deg flex

At the moment of HS, the ankle is normally in this many degrees of dorsiflexion: A. 20 B. 10 C. 5 D. None of the above

Using traditional terminology, the highest amount of knee flexion during normal (comfortable) gait is observed in: A. Toe off B. Acceleration C. Midswing D. Deceleration

Normally, the hip must extend to at least this many degrees during HO – TO to aid limb advancement: A. 10 B. 20 C. 30



Ground reaction forces



Electromyographic activity

Ankle dorsiflexors  Just after initial contact 

Swing phase

Ankle plantarflexors  Loading response 

Preswing (slight) ◦ Rectus femoris

Knee flexors  Terminal swing to initial contact 

Initial swing

Hip extensors  Terminal swing to initial contact

Hip flexors  Initial swing

Hip abductors  Loading response through midstance

Hip adductors  Preswing ; Initial swing

Back extensors  At initial contact (both sides)

Peak activity of the knee extensors occur in: A. Loading response B. Midstance C. Terminal stance D. Preswing

At initial contact, the erector spinae on both sides are active to check: A. Trunk flexion B. Trunk lateral flexion C. Hip flexion D. None of the above

Intuitively, peak activity of the ankle plantarflexors should occur in: A. Initial contact B. Loading response C. Terminal stance D. Preswing

This abnormal gait pattern typically results when there is generalized muscle weakness in one side of the body: A. Antalgic B. Hemiplegic C. Equinus D. None of the above

In an antalgic gait pattern, the following would be expected to decrease, EXCEPT: A. SLS time – affected limb B. DLS time C. Preswing – affected limb D. None of the above

Generalized reflex hyperactivity of the lower limb muscles, the hip adductors in particular, often result in this abnormal gait pattern: A. Equinus B. Parkinsonian C. Ataxic D. None of the above

I would like to acknowledge Prof. EJ Gorgon, MPhysio, PTRP for the powerpoint slides used in this presentation.

Gait is a complicated subject to learn and study. It is strongly encouraged that you do extra reading. For references that you could use, do not hesitate to seek consult.

The depth and quality of learning that you would get from this college does not entirely depend on the faculty and the instructional materials used... Most of it depends... On the passion that you put into learning and your perseverance to rise up against the challenges and difficulties you would encounter.
