     Please come dressed for lab to observe lower extremities for ALL classes
     Bring or wear shoes that demonstrate a distinctive wear pattern of your feet
     REQUIRED READINGS:
     1) Neumann, DA. Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System. Chapter 15, pps:
    627-681, 2010
     2) Rancho Los Amigos. Observational Gait Analysis. Los Amigos research &
    Education Institute, 2001
     3) Power Point Presentations
     4) Observe gait videos on U-Tube

     Objectives:
     The students will be able to:
     1. Distinguish the phases of the gait cycle
     2. Interpret the characteristics of the phases of the gait cycle
    3. Recognize the kinematics of the phases of the gait cycle for each joint
    4. Appraise the normal muscle function (isometric, concentric, eccentric) with
    each muscle at each phase of the gait cycle
     5. Differentiate abnormalities from the “normal gait cycle”
     6. Analyze numerous videos of normal and abnormal kinematics during the
    gait cycle
     7. Assess different pathological gait patterns by observing videos
    8. Determine when a gait deviation is due to abnormal muscle function
     9. Develop an understanding of selected interventions that can be used to
    treat selected gait deviations
     10. Perform qualitative gait analysis on > 30 normal subjects
     12. Measure selected gait parameters under various conditions, including
    normal walking, fast walking and running
     13. Describe different assistive devices that are used with patients with gait
    deviations

    MONDAY, January 9, 2023; 1:00 PM-5:00 PM.


     1:00-2:30 pm

    double leg stance, single leg stance
     Parameters of gait: base width, step length, stride length, pelvic list, pelvic
    vertical shift, pelvic rotation, CG, normal cadence, etc.
     Kinematics of gait (Pages: Neumann, 639-646)
     2:45-3:45 pm
     Practice observational gait analysis
     3:45-5:00 pm
     Kinematics of gait LAB - Measure with a goniometer (stop action during an
    instant in the gait cycle) and document the ROM of the trunk, hip, knee, ankle,
    STJ, 1st MTP joints at each period of the gait cycle in as many planes of motion
    as you can accurately measure

     Practice observational gait analysis
     3:45-5:00 pm
     Muscle functions gait LAB - (isometric, concentric contractions, eccentric
    actions) throughout the gait cycle for the lower extremity
     Analyze (stop action during an instant in the gait cycle) and document the
    Muscle functions (isometric, concentric contractions, eccentric actions)
    throughout the gait cycle of the trunk, hip, knee, ankle, STJ, 1 st MTP joints at
    each period of the gait cycle in as many planes of motion as you can
    accurately measure

    Beach Lab

     Have 3 subjects walk, fast walk, run (use a minimum of 3 steps with each
    foot)
     Identify the line of progression (artificially create center of steps)
     Perform following analysis for the distance variables of gait:
     Measure the base width (~2-4”)
     Measure the degree of toe out (~7°) (heel to 2 nd toe)
     Measure step length (~14-16”) (HS to HS of opposite foot)
     Measure stride length (1 gait cycle) (~27-33”) (HS to HS of same foot)
     Temporal variables of gait:
     Cadence (speed) – number of steps/minutes
