The Gait Cycle [Part 2] | Terminal Stance (TSt) → Pre-swing (PSw)

The video tutorial explores the gait cycle, focusing on the terminal stance and pre-swing phases. It reviews midstance and explains the transition to terminal stance, highlighting key events like forefoot rocker initiation and controlled dorsiflexion. The tutorial details the mechanics of terminal stance, including hip extension and knee flexion, and transitions into pre-swing, emphasizing passive knee flexion and plantar flexion. The video concludes with a brief look at the pelvis's role in these phases.

What is the starting point of midstance in the gait cycle?

Explain the concept of 'free forward fall' in terminal stance.

What role does the gastrocnemius play during terminal stance?

What is the significance of trailing limb posture in gait?

What is the maximum dorsiflexion angle achieved in terminal stance?

How does the subtalar joint function during terminal stance?

How does the pelvis rotate during terminal stance?

What are the two major requirements during pre swing?

Discuss the changes in knee flexion from terminal stance to pre swing.
