- no heel strike (straight to foot flat)
- no recip arm swing
- no trunk and pelvic rot
- 4-6 months after walking starts
-
toddlers (1-3 yo) - their center of gravity compared to ours? its effect on their gait?
it's higher due to their big heads and chests, and it makes the walk w wider base of support
-
how much time do we spend in single leg stance? how much time do toddlers spend?
- us - 39% per leg
- them - 30% per leg-- so they spend more time in double leg stance
-
stride length: leg length
ratio for us
ratio for toddlers
-
at what age do kids start walking like adults?
- 8 yo -
- they start going 3mph,
- 80-120 steps/min,
- 1.57 stride length:leg length
-
at what ages do kids have mature arm movements while walking? hip movements?
-
how much reduction in velocity, how often, after what age?
2.5-4.5% reduction every 10 yrs after 20 yo
-
gait changes after age 62?
- decrese in unilat stance time
- decrease in PF and DF, but esp DF
- decrease force in PF
-
climbing stairs, % of time foot's in contact w stair and % of time it's in the air
-
stair climbing - describe the weight acceptance phase
foot is on step and yr starting to put wt on it
-
stair climbing - describe the pull up phase
contralat leg starts to rise
-
stair climbing - describe the forward continuance phase
contralat leg is up, moving forward
-
three stance phases and two swing phases of stairs
- stance:
- wt acceptance, pull up, forward continuance
- swing:
- foot clearance, foot placement
-
foot clearance phase in stair climbing
foot gets off step
-
foot placement stage in stair climbing
foot's about to hit next step
