What phases of gait are involved in Heel Rocker? - answer Initial contact and Loading
Response
What phase of gait are involved in Ankler Rocker? - answer post-loading response
through midstance
What phases of gait are involved in Toe/Forefoot Rocker? - answer Terminal stance
and Pre-swing
What neuromuscular control deficiencies may lead to excessive knee and hip flexion
with excessive ankle DF during single leg support? - answer Weak ankle PF
Weak hip or trunk extensors
Weak knee extensors
what compensations may occur at the hip for Somone who has excessive knee and hip
flexion w/excessive ankle DF during single leg support? – answer Hip flexor
contractures
Hip flexor spasticity
What compensations may occur at the knee for someone who has excessive knee and
hip flexion w/excessive ankle DF? - answerContracture
Hamstring hypertonicity
How does limited hip extension and PF limit pre-swing and swing phase? - answercan
cause trailing limb to be unable to unweight during presweing
Trailing lumb knee flexion will be absent or limited by end of presewing preventin gthigh
elevation.
A combination of what three criteria would indicate for an AFO? - answerImpairment of
ankle strength
Impairment of proprioception
hypertonicity of plantar flexors
