Details on joint movements during normal gait, including hip, knee, ankle and pelvis in the sagittal, frontal and transverse planes during the gait cycle. Sagittal plane movements Hip Joint The hip is in maximum flexion (~20°) at initial contact (0% of the gait cycle). It gradually extends during stance and reaches maximum extension (~20°) atContinueContinue reading “Joint Movements During Gait: Sagittal, Frontal and Transverse Plane Motions”

Determinants of Gait
Learn and download pdf of determinants of gait and the factors that influence normal walking, joint movement, balance, energy efficiency and gait mechanics. Definition Determinants of gait are the specific movements and mechanisms of the pelvis and lower limbs during walking that help minimize excessive displacement of the body’s centre of gravity, thereby producing aContinueContinue reading “Determinants of Gait”
