Gait Cycle Review 24

Front

What is the Foot Flat phase in the gait cycle?

Back

The Foot Flat phase is the stage in the gait cycle where the entire foot is in contact with the ground, providing stability and support as weight is transferred.

Front

What is the Midstance phase in the gait cycle?

Back

Midstance is the phase where the body is directly over the supporting leg, and the center of gravity is at its highest point.

Front

What phases of the gait cycle does Pre-swing belong to?

Back

Pre-swing is part of the stance phase of the gait cycle, occurring just before the foot leaves the ground.

Front

What is the Terminal Swing phase in the gait cycle?

Back

Terminal Swing is the final phase of the swing phase where the leg is moving forward to prepare for the next heel strike.

Front

How can you identify a male pelvis?

Back

A male pelvis typically has a narrower pelvic inlet, a more pronounced sacrum, and a smaller pelvic arch compared to a female pelvis.

Front

What is the significance of the Heel Strike in the gait cycle?

Back

Heel Strike marks the beginning of the stance phase, where the heel makes initial contact with the ground, absorbing shock and starting weight transfer.

Front

What occurs during the Loading Response phase of the gait cycle?

Back

During the Loading Response phase, the body weight is transferred onto the forward leg, and the foot begins to flatten.

Front

What is the role of the Midswing phase in the gait cycle?

Back

Midswing is the phase where the leg is moving forward in the air, allowing for clearance of the foot from the ground.

Front

What happens during the Terminal Stance phase?

Back

In Terminal Stance, the heel of the supporting leg lifts off the ground, preparing for the toe-off.

Front

What is the purpose of the Swing Phase in the gait cycle?

Back

The Swing Phase allows the leg to move forward and prepare for the next step, ensuring efficient locomotion.
