    Gait Cycle

    Uploaded by

    khorrami4
    The gait cycle document describes the phases and intervals of human walking. It is divided into a stance phase when the foot is on the ground and a swing phase when it is off the ground. The stance phase consists of initial contact, foot flat, mid stance, terminal stance, and toe off intervals. Gait is also described by temporal variables like cadence and spatial variables like stride length, step length, and walking base. Factors that can influence gait include musculoskeletal and neurological issues.

    Gait Cycle

    • gf
    • Stance phase: Consists of the entire time
    that a foot is on the ground
    • Swing phase: Consists of the entire time
    that the foot is in the air
    Stance Phase
    • Initial contact(heel strike)
    • Foot flat(loading response)
    • Mid stance
    • Terminal stance(heel off)
    • Toe off(pre swing)
    Stance Intervals
    • Initial double support: 10%
    • Single support: 40%
    • Terminal double support: 10%
    Swing Phase
    • Initial swing(acceleration)
    • Mid swing
    • Terminal swing(deceleration)
    Stride Length vs Step Length
    • Stride length: Distance between successive
    ground contact of the same foot
    – Distance from the heel of right foot (starting
    position) to the heel of right foot (ending position)
    – Average: 150cm(5ft)

    • Step length: distance from the heel of right


    foot to the heel of left foot
    – Average: 75cm(2.5ft)
    Temporal & Spatial Variables
    • Cadence: Steps or strides-cycles/min
    • Walking base: Stride width or distance
    between line of feet
    • Degree of toe out: ~7o, decreases with speed
    Factors Influencing Gait
    • Musculoskletal
    – muscle, tendon, ligaments
    – Joint, bones
    – Soft tissue, fascia
    • Neurological issues
    – Central, basal ganglia, cerebellum,..
    – Peripheral
    Hip Stabilizers
    G. Medius, dual function
