The document provides a detailed overview of gait analysis, including the divisions of the gait cycle, temporal and spatial variables, determinants of gait, and phases of the gait cycle. It describes different phases such as stance and swing with their respective intervals and identifies classifications by Neumann and Rancho Los Amigos. Additionally, it discusses joint motions and muscle actions associated with each phase of gait.

- 19. • Divisions of gait cycle • Temporal and spatial variables • Determinants of gait • Phases of gait cycle Summary
- 20. Initial contact • The instant when the foot strikes the ground Interval: 0-2% Heel rocker
- 21. Loading response • Begins with initial floor contact • Continues until the other foot is lifted for swing Interval: 0-10% Ankle rocker
- 22. Mid-stance • Begins as the other foot is lifted • Continues until body weight is aligned over the forefoot Interval: 10-30%
- 23. Terminal stance • Begins with heel rise • Continues until the other foot strikes the ground Interval: 30- 50% Forefoot rocker
- 24. Pre-swing • Begins with initial contact of the opposite limb • Ends with ipsilateral toe-offInterval: 50-60%
- 25. Initial- swing • Begins with lift of the foot from the floor • Ends when the swinging foot is opposite the stance footInterval: 60-73%
- 26. Mid-swing • Begins as the swinging limb is opposite the stance limb • Ends when the swinging limb is forward and the tibia is vertical Interval: 73-87%
- 27. Terminal- swing • Begins with a vertical tibia • Ends when the foot strikes the floor Interval: 87-100%

Editor's Notes
- #8: Speed combines both spatial and temporal parameters= step length X step time
- #13: Heel contact- heel comes in contact with the ground Foot flat- entire plantar surface in contact with the ground Mid stance- point at which body’s weight passes directly over the supporting lower extremity; foot in swing phase is next to stance leg
- #14: The traditional terminology developed as interest in gait rehabilitation mounted after WWII in the effort to improve lower extremity prosthetics. It describes gait in terms of discreet, momentary events, such as heelstrike, heel rise, and toe-off
- #15: The Rancho Los Amigos (RLA) terminology became increasingly popular in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s and is currently assuming a position as the preferred standard among clinicians. It describes gait more in terms of processes or segments of time, such as loading response, terminal stance, and pre-swing, and because it is semantically more generic and better encompasses the common features of normal and pathological gait

- #21: Objective: The limb is positioned to start stance with a heel rocker.
- #22: Ob: Shock absorption Weight-bearing stability Preservation of progression
- #23: Ob: progression over the stationary foot; Limb and trunk stability
- #24: Ob: Progression of the body beyond the supporting foot
- #25: Ob: Position the limb for swing
- #26: Ob: Foot c1earance of the floor Advancement of the limb from its trailing position
- #27: Objectives: Limb advancement Foot clearance from the floor
- #28: Objectives: Complete limb advancement Prepare the limb for stance
- #29: HEEL ROCKER. Lasts from initial contact to the time of foot flat. Its function is to translate the vertical component of the ground reaction force into forward progression of the tibia through the link provided by the eccentric action of tibialis anterior. ANKLE ROCKER. Lasts from the time of foot flat to heel rise. Its function is to control the rate of forward progression of the body as the tibia rotates at the ankle joint over the fixed foot under the eccentric control of the triceps surae. FOREFOOT ROCKER. Lasts from heel rise until the end of stance. It functions to extend the period of ground contact via the gastrocnemius to exploit the GRF vector’s helpful influence on swing initiation.
