Exam 12: Posture and Gait in Walking and Running

During the gait cycle, for an individual with a hip flexion contracture, one would expect to observe a(n) ____________ anterior pelvic tilt and __________ lumbar lordosis.

Sway of the body typically occurs:

The center of pressure is the location of the foot where the ground reaction forces are applied.

The duration of double support varies inversely with the speed of walking.

How many subphases is the stance phase of gait is divided into?

The mid-tarsal joints are _______when the subtalar joint is ________.

At what point in the gait cycle is ankle dorsiflexion at its maximum?

In the frontal plane the knee abducts during mid-stance while running.

The body's center of mass is highest during double limb support.

The gluteus maximus output and timing of function is the same in both walking and running.

Which of the following is not a functional task of gait?

What is the primary requirement during the mid-stance phase of gait?

If an individual has weak calf muscles, which compensatory strategy is he or she least likely to adopt?

Ground reaction forces during the gait cycle are greatest in this direction:

At what point in the gait cycle is knee flexion at its maximum?

The vertical ground reaction force during the gait cycle exceeds body weight during mid-stance.

The distance between the initial contact of one foot and initial contact of the other foot is:

A mature gait pattern takes several years to develop.

During normal walking speeds, how many seconds does it take to complete a gait cycle?

In the frontal plane, the hip _________ approximately 5 $\degree$ immediately after initial contact.
