1
Pathological Gait
2
Excessive Plantarflexion Causes Triceps surae contracture Triceps surae spasticity Pre-tibial weakness Voluntary/compensatory 2 0 weak quadriceps
3
Loading Response Deviations FF contact rapid foot flat (flexible ankle) FF contact sustained FF contact foot flat (rigid ankle) knee hyperextension FF = fore foot
4
Midstance Deviations Premature heel rise Foot flat w/ restrained tibia Fwd. trunk lean, short contralateral step
5
Terminal Stance Deviations Excessive heel rise Pelvic obliquity high on side of deviation
6
Mid Swing Deviations Toe Drag Compensatory hip and/or knee flexion
7
Excessive Dorsiflexion Weak triceps surae Ankle joint fusion at neutral Excessive knee flexion
8
Loading Response Deviations Higher heel rocker knee quad demand
9
Loading Response Deviations 2 0 Rigid AFO Rigid AFO knee and hip flexion
10
Terminal Stance Deviations Prolonged heel contact OR knee w/ heel rise
11
Pre Swing Deviations Sustained heel contact plantarflexion
12
Inadequate Knee Flexion / Excessive Extension Quadriceps weakness Pain Quadriceps spasticity Excessive ankle plantarflexion
13
Pre Swing and Initial Swing ankle dorsiflexion w/ prolonged heel contact Toe Drag
14
Midstance when knee lacks hyperextension range Retraction of tibia (soleus) and femur (gluteus max)
15
Inadequate knee flexion 2 0 excessive plantarflexion Overall disruption of normal coordination between the knee and ankle
16
Inadequate Knee Extension / Excessive Knee Flexion Causes Hamstring spasticity Knee flexion contracture Soleus weakness Excessive ankle plantarflexion
17
Excessive Knee Flexion - Loading Response Resulting in ankle dorsiflexion
18
Excessive Knee Flexion - Midswing As a compensation for ankle plantarflexion
19
Inadequate Knee Extension – Midstance and Terminal Stance Accompanied w/ ankle dorsiflexion limb and body advancement
20
Inadequate Knee Extension – Terminal Swing Loss of terminal reach
21
Inadequate Hip Extension – Excessive Hip Flexion Hip flexion contracture Iliotibial band contracture Hip flexor spasticity Pain Voluntary/Compensatory
22
Inadequate Hip Extension – TSt step length and body advancement Contracture
23
Excessive Hip Flexion - MSw Compensation for ankle plantarflexion
24
Inadequate Hip Flexion Hip flexor weakness Hip joint arthrodesis
25
Inadequate Hip Flexion - TSw Compensation for weak quadriceps that cannot extend the knee (flaccid knee) Rapid hip Rapid hip /
26
Compensations for Inadequate Hip Flexion – PSw/ISw Compensatory posterior pelvic tilt
27
Compensations for Inadequate Hip Flexion – PSw/ISw Voluntary excessive (magnitude & velocity) knee flexion
28
Excessive Hip Adduction Causes: Ipsilateral abductor weakness Adduction contracture or spasticity Using adductors as hip flexors Contralateral hip abduction contracture
29
Deviations Swing “Scissor Gait”Combined hip & IR
30
Deviations 2 0 glute med weakness 2 0 adductor contracture or spasticity 2 0 adductors used as hip flexors
31
Excessive Hip Abduction Causes Ipsilateral abduction contracture Contralateral adduction contracture Scoliosis w/ pelvic obliquity
32
Deviations 2 0 contralateral abduction or ipsilateral adduction contracture Compensation for inadequate knee flexion
33
Excessive Hip External Rotation Causes Gluteus maximus overactivity Excessive ankle plantarflexion
34
Excessive Hip Internal Rotation Causes Medial hamstring overactivity Adductor overactivity Anterior abductor overactivity Quadriceps weakness
