Question 26
Question
Check all that are true:
Answer
-
As the swing leg advances, the pelvis rotates forward 5 degrees in the horizontal plane to increase the relative leg length. This strategy minimizes downward displacement of the COM.
-
Lateral pelvic tilt: At midstance the contralateral pelvis drops in the frontal plane to lower the body and thus minimize upward displacement of the COM.
-
The motion of the pelvis helps ‘smooth out’ gait so there is less up and down (vertical) motion.
-
Knee flexion during swing lengthens the length of the leg allowing the foot to clear the ground thus also increasing upward displacement of the COM.
-
During terminal stance, the lower extremity is elongated via ankle plantarflexion (i.e. heel rise).
-
For individuals with impaired balance, an increase in step width will decrease stability and sacrifice energy efficiency.
-
Lateral pelvic/hip motion: Reducing step width minimizes the medial-lateral displacement of the COM (i.e. during weight shifts).

Question 30
Question
How is vertical displaement minimized?
Answer
-
Horizontal pelvic rotation: As the swing leg advances, the pelvis rotates forward 5 degrees in the horizontal plane to increase the relative leg length. This strategy minimizes downward displacement of the COM.
-
Lateral pelvic tilt: At midstance the contralateral pelvis drops in the frontal plane to lower the body and thus minimize upward displacement of the COM.
-
Knee flexion during stance and swing phase: Knee flexion during stance phase limits the maximum upward displacement of the COM. Knee flexion during swing shortens the length of the leg allowing the foot to clear the ground thus also minimizing upward displacement of the COM
-
Ankle rotation (dorsiflexion-plantarflexion): At heel contact the protruding calcaneous makes contact with the ground and functionally elongates the leg length. In addition, during terminal stance, the lower extremity is elongated via ankle plantarflexion (i.e. heel rise). Thus at both ends of stance phase downward displacement of the COM is minimized.
