What is Human Locomotion/Gait ?
• Translatory progression of body as a whole
• Produced by co-ordinated, rotatory movements of
body segments
• Series of rhythmic, alternating movements of the
trunk & limbs which result in forward progression of
the Center of Gravity.
Initial contact of one leg to initial contact of the
same leg.

WHY KINETICS & KINEMATICS IS IMPORTANT?
• Kinetic analysis makes it possible to measure the magnitude
and direction of external forces acting on limb, during the
different phases of gait
• Kinematic analysis makes it possible to determine the
locomotion of joint in space
• The combination of above 2 methods makes it feasible the
calculation of the externally generated moments of force
at various joints

Sagittal Plane Motion
• In the sagittal plane, the two vertical oscillations of the
body’s COM follow a smooth sinusoidal curve.
• The curve’s highest point occurs at midstance for each
foot while the lowest segment of the sinusoidal curve is at
double support.
• Actual vertical displacement of the COM varies from 2 to
5 cm, depending on stride length and walking speed.
• Angular motions of flexion and extension occur at the
hip, knee, and ankle in the sagittal plane.
Frontal Plane Motion
• Maximum lateral displacement occurs during unilateral stance
and is about 2 cm to the left and to the right.
• When visualized in both the sagittal and frontal planes during
walking, the body’s COM is at its highest in the sagittal plane
and its most lateral position in the frontal plane at the same
time
Transverse Plane
Motion
• Pelvis: 5° to 8° lateral tilt in the frontal plane, 3°
anterior and posterior tilt in the sagittal plane, and a
total of 8° protraction and retraction in the transverse
plane.
• Hip: 10° extension to 25°–30° flexion in the sagittal
plane; 15° adduction to 5° abduction in the frontal
plane; and 8° to 14° in the transverse plane.
• Knee: full extension to 60° flexion in the sagittal
plane; 3° to 8° in the frontal plane; 10° to 20° in the
transverse plane
•Ankle and foot: 10° dorsiflexion to 20°
plantarflexion
in the sagittal plane; 5°–8° inversion and eversion.
Kinetics of Gait
- Newton’s 3rd law of motion
• Ground reaction force (GRF)
- force transmitted from floor to the foot , passed on up to all
body segments
- reflection of body weight and acceleration
- vertical , anterior – posterior, and mediolateral
Relationship of GRF & jt.axis during stance phase
Kinetics of Gait
THE FORCES OF MAJOR IMPORTANCE IN ANALYSIS OF
HUMAN LOCOMOTION ARE:
Internal Forces-The forces exerted by muscular contraction
Muscle forces & Passive tension from connective tissues
External forces – The forces exerted by the pull of gravity
Inertia, Gravity & Friction
Muscles of Gait
1. PRETIBIAL GROUP
• During the heel strike phase, lengthening
contraction(eccentric ) of the foot dorsiflexors lets the
foot down from heel strike to foot flat position in a
slow and controlled manner. In rest of stance phase,
the invertors and evertors act to keep the foot stable
in ML direction.
• Important for the stability on rough ground or on a
walking on a hillside.
2.CALF GROUP- GASTRONEMIUS AND SOLEUS
Max activity during the push off phase to propel the COG
up and forward
3. QUADRICEPS GROUP-
Max activity after heel strike , acting as shock
absorbers to control knee flexion to 15 degrees.
4. HAMSTRINGS GROUP-
Double peak of activity just before and after heel strike.
first peak occurs during swing , and it keep the knee from
buckling. second peak at the termination of stance phase
working toward hip and knee extension for push off.
5. ABDUCTOR GROUP- GLUTEUS MEDIUS AND
MAXIMUS
- Active during heel strike and early stance phase to stabilize
the pelvic tilt to 5 degrees.
6. ADDUCTOR GROUP-
- after heel strike, they assist abductors to stabilize the pelvis
- At end of stance phase, they work together with other hip
flexors to accelerate the limb forward in preparation for
swing
7. GLUTEUS MAXIMUS-
- more active during heel strike phase, when it acts as a
shock absorber. Their extension function keep both hip and
knee from buckling.
8. ERECTOR SPINAE-
Becomes active during heel strike and its activity is
necessary to keep the trunk from folding forward from the
force of inertia and gravity. Also stabilises the trunk
mediolaterally.
Determinants of Gait
• Used to minimize excursion of CG in vertical &
horizontal planes
• Reduces the energy consumption of
ambulation
Pelvic Rotation
Lateral pelvis tilt
Knee flexion
Ankle Mechanism
Foot Mechanism
Physiological valgus of knee
1. Pelvic rotation:
• Forward rotation of the pelvis in the
horizontal plane approx 8 degree on the swing-
phase side
• Reduces the angle of hip flexion & extension
• Enables a slightly longer step-length w/o
further lowering of COG
2. Pelvic tilt:
- 5 degree dip of the swinging side (i.e. hip
adduction)
- In standing, if this dip is a positive Trendelenberg sign
- Reduces the height of the apex of the curve of COG
3. Knee flexion in stance phase:
- Approx. 20 degree dip
- Shortens the leg in the middle of stance phase
- Reduces the height of the apex of the curve of COG
4. Ankle mechanism:
-Lengthens the leg at heel contact
-Smoothens the curve of COG
-Reduces the lowering of COG
5. Foot mechanism:
- Lengthens the leg at toe-off as ankle moves
from dorsiflexion to plantarflexion
- Smoothens the curve of COG
- Reduces the lowering of COG
6. Physiological valgus of knee
- Reduces the base of support, so only little lateral
motion of pelvis is necessary.
Common Gait Abnormalities
• Antalgic Gait
- Gait pattern in which stance phase on affected side is
shortened
- Corresponding increase in stance on unaffected side
- Common causes:
OA, Fracture,
Tendinitis
• Lateral Trunk bending/Trendelenberg gait
-Usually unilateral
-Bilateral = waddling gait
• Common causes:
 Painful hip
 Hip abductor weakness
 Leg-length discrepancy
 Abnormal hip joint
HIP ABDUCTOR LOAD & HIP JOINT REACTION
FORCES
• Functional Leg-Length Discrepancy
- Swing leg: longer than stance leg
- 4 common compensations:
A. Circumduction
B. Hip hiking
C. Steppage
D. Vaulting
Increased Walking Base
- Normal walking base: 5-10 cm
• Common causes:
- Deformities
- Abducted hip
- Valgus knee
• Instability
- Cerebellar ataxia
- Proprioception deficits
Inadequate Dorsiflexion Control/foot drop gait
- In stance phase (Heel contact – Foot flat):
Foot slap
- In swing phase (mid-swing): Toe drag
• Causes:
 Weak Tibialis Ant.
 Spastic plantarflexors
Running Gait
- Require greater balance, muscle strength,
ROM than normal walking.
- Difference b/w running and walking
• Reduced BOS
• Absence of double support
• More coordination and strength needed
• Muscle must generate higher energy to raise HAT higher than
in normal walking.
• Divided into flight and support phase
Stair Gait
Ascending and descending stairs is a
basic body movement required for ADL
Stair gait involves stance and swing phase
SWING PHASE(36%)
• Foot clearance
• Foot placement
STANCE PHASE(64%)
• Weight acceptance
• Pull up
• Forward continuance
SIMILARITIES & DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
LEVEL GROUND GAIT AND STAIR GATE
Similarities to Walking Differences with Walking
•Double support periods
•Ground reaction forces have double peak
•Cadence similar
•Support moment is similar (always
positive with two peaks)
•More hip and knee flexion
•Greater ROM needed
•Peak forces slightly higher
•CoP is concentrated under
metatarsals, rarely near heel
•Step height may vary from stairway to
stairway
•Railings may be present
• Title - Gait-training devices in the treatment of lower extremity injuries in sports
medicine: current status and future prospects
Authors- Alexandra F. DeJong & Jay Hertel
• Aim- This review seeks to provide synthesized information on gait-training techniques and
devices applied, in four of the most prevalent chronic lower extremity injuries seen in sports
medicine.
• Methods- Comprehensive searches were performed identify gait-training articles in Chronic
Ankle Instability (CAI), Exercise-Related Lower Leg Pain (ERLLP), Patellofemoral Pain
(PFP), and Anterior Cruciate Ligament with Reconstruction (ACLR) populations. reviewed
articles and extracted data includes study demographics, gait-training techniques, devices
used, and primary gait-training outcomes. 58 articles were included in this review Pooled
analyses were performed for common outcomes within each injury category. Current
evidence supports destabilization training and pressure medialization tactics for CAI (n = 9),
footstrike/loading and cadence interventions for ERLLP (n = 11) and PFP (n = 7), and limb
off-loading techniques for ACLR (n = 4). Commonly used devices included accelerometers
(n = 6), custom gait-training footwear (n = 9), metronomes (n = 14), and pressure sensors
(n = 5).
• Conclusion-Wearable sensors will continue to revolutionize gait-training and allow for
ecologically valid gait-training interventions.
• Title- Gait Mechanics and Tibiofemoral Loading in Men of the ACL-
SPORTS- RCT
Author- Jacob J. Capin et al
• Aim- Development of the anterior cruciate ligament specialized post-operative
return-to-sports (ACL-SPORTS) program, to test the effect of 10 post-operative
training sessions consisting of strength, agility, plyometric, and secondary
prevention exercises (SAPP) or SAPP plus perturbation (SAPPþPERT) training
on gait mechanics after ACLR.
• Methods- A total of 40 male athletes (age 237 years) after primary ACLR were
randomized to SAPP or SAPPþPERT training and tested at three distinct, post-
operative time points: 1) after impairment resolution (Pre-training); 2) following
10 training sessions (Post-training); and 3) 2 years after ACLR. Knee kinematic
and kinetic variables as well as muscle and joint contact forces were calculated
via inverse dynamics and a validated EMG-informed musculoskeletal model.
• Conclusion- There were no significant changes seen however, meaningful gait
asymmetries mostly resolved between post-training and 2 years after ACLR
regardless of intervention group.
• Title- Gait Mechanics and Second ACL Rupture: Implications for
Delaying Return-to-Sport
Author- Jacob J. Capin et al.
• Aim- to compare gait biomechanics and return-to-sport time frames in a
matched cohort of young female athletes who, after primary ACLR, returned
to sport without re-injury or sustained a second ACL injury.
• Methods- 14 young women involved in jumping, cutting, and pivoting sports
underwent motion analysis testing after physical therapy and impairment
resolution. Following objective return-to-sport clearance, 7 athletes sustained
a second ACL rupture within 20 months of surgery. They matched them by
age, sex, and sport-level to seven athletes who returned to sports without re-
injury. Data were analyzed using a previously validated, EMG-informed,
patient-specific musculoskeletal model.
• Conclusion- Delayed return-to-sport clearance even in the absence of gait or
clinical impairments following primary ACL reconstruction may be necessary
to mitigate second ACL injury risk in young women.

What is Posture?
• Alignment of Body Segments
• Attitude assumed by the body either with
support during muscular inactivity or by
means of the coordinated action of many
muscles working to maintain stability.
• Postural adjustments are rapid & automatic in
normal function.
• Requires interaction of multiple systems.
• Static Vs Dynamic
ERECT BIPEDAL STANCE AND
QUADRUPEDAL POSTURE
• Erect bipedal stance gives us
freedom for the U.E
• certain disadvantages -
increases the work of the
heart; places increased stress
on the vertebral column,
pelvis, and lower extremities;
and reduces stability.
• Small base of support and
large center of gravity
- In quadrupedal posture the
body weight is distributed
between the upper and
lower extremities.
- Large base of support and low
center of gravity
Kinetics & Kinematics of Posture
 External forces: Inertia, Gravity and Ground
Reaction Forces(GRF’s)
Internal forces: muscle activity, passive
tension in ligaments, tendons, joint capsules and
other soft tissue structures
Inertia
• In the erect standing posture the body
undergoes a constant swaying motion called
postural sway or sway envelope
• Sway envelope for a normal individual, standing with
4” between the feet –
12° in sagittal plane and 16° in frontal plane
Gravity
• Gravitational forces act downward from the body’s
COG
• In static erect standing posture, the LOG must fall
within the BOS
Ground Reaction Forces Vector
• GRFV is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to
the gravitational force in erect standing posture
• The point of application of GRFV is at the body’s centre
of pressure(COP)
• COP is located in the foot in unilateral stance and b/w
the feet in bilateral standing postures
Analysis of Posture
- In normal standing posture, the LOG falls close to, but
not through most joint axes
- Compressive forces are distributed over the weight
bearing surfaces of joints; no excessive tension
exerted on ligaments
- Skilled observational analysis of posture involves
identification of the location of body segments
relative to the LOG
- Body segments-either side of LOG are symmetrical
- A plumb line is used to represent the LOG
SAGITTAL PLANE
ALIGNMENT
IN NORMAL POSTURE
In erect standing, the body is aligned
approximately so that a line
through the body’s COM passes
very close to the ear, slightly
anterior to the acromion process
of the scapula, close to the greater
trochanter, slightly anterior to the
knee joint, and anterior to the
ankle joint
Deviations from Optimal Alignment in
Sagittal Plane
• Foot & Toes: Claw Toe & Hammer Toe
• Knee- Flexed Knee Posture, Genu Recurvatum
• Pelvis- Anterior Pelvic Tilt
• Spine- Kyphosis, Lordosis
• Head- Forward Head Posture
FRONTAL AND
TRANSVERSE PLANE
ALIGNMENT
POSTERIOR ASPECT
Deviations from Optimal Alignment in
Anterior- Posterior View
• Foot & Toes: Pes Planus, Pes Cavus, Hallux
Valgus
• Knee- Genu Varum, Genu Valgum, Squintting
or cross-eye patella, Grasshopper eyes patella
• Spine- Scoliosis
SCOLIOSIS
• Title-Biomechanical simulation of different postures obtained from
three sport branches
Author- Farkas Andrei Zoltan et al.
• Aim- To run a biomechanical simulation with the AnyBody modeling
system using anthropometric and postural data obtained from
professional athletes of three different sport branches and highlight
the muscle activity differences that occur between the mean
posture of each sport’s specific somatotype.
• Methods- Postural measurements were performed on three sport
batches from different branches of sports (Basketball, Volleyball,
Football) All the athletes performed a series of non-invasive testing
using a multi-sensor modular baropodometer (force plate) and the
Zebris CMS-HS spine examination system.The analysis was repeated
several times and the same result came up every time.
• Conclusion- Postural deviations that occur due practicing different
sports are significant. After modeling/simulation with the AnyBody
modeling system, the influence of posture on muscle activity
throughout the body is highlighted.
• Title-Does the type of sport practised influence foot posture and knee
angle? Differences between footballers and swimmers
Author- Eva Lopezosa-Reca et al.
• Aim-To observe the differences in foot posture and the angle of the knee
according to different physical activities.
• Methods- 78 football players and 72 swimmers were recruited,
and in each case a foot posture analysis, based on the foot posture 10
index (FPI), was conducted and the Q angle of the knee was determined.
The following mean values were obtained for the
lower extremities: in the swimmers, FPI 6.45 ± 2.04 and Q angle
15.38º ± 3.79º. In the footballers, FPI 2.23 ± 1.72 and Q angle
13.16º ± 1.36º.
• Conclusion- There were statistically significant differences 15
(p < 0.001) between the two groups. The swimmers presented a
foot posture with a tendency towards pronation, and a Q angle
with a tendency towards valgus, while the results for the footballers
were within the normal range

BIOMECHANICS
• The study of mechanics in the human body is
referred to as biomechanics.
• Functional Biomechanics: link between
human body and environment which dictates
human function.
• Human functions are 3 dimensional.
WHAT ARE ADL’S ?
• Activities of Daily Living are simple as well as
complex movements which humans carry out
everyday
• Activities involved in taking care of themselves,
performing work related tasks, enjoying leisure and
recreational time.
• To analyze the biomechanics:
Sequence of Movement
Joint Motion
Muscle Activity
MOBILITY- SIT TO STAND
Sequence of movement-
Trunk moves upright to place COM over feet & hands move to rest
COM moves forward over the feet as L.L extend
Hands are on arms of the chair
Hips move to edge of the seat and body leans forward to place trunk’s
COM over legs
Extremities are prepared to accept body weight
Joint Motion
Hips are moved forward in the chair – B.W moves from one side of pelvis to other
as the NWB pelvis rotates forward until hips are on the edge
Trunk moves to an upright position when hips are on the edge of the seat- in
preparation elbow flexed at 90 degree at the arm rest
Shoulders are hyperextended with elbows behind the trunk, hips flexed as trunk
forward over thighs
Knees flexed beyond 90 degree to move feet under the hips and ankles are
dorsiflexed
Forearm either pronated or neutral midposition, Wrist extension, Fingers &
thumb flexed
Movement to standing- shoulders- hyperextension to neutral hyperextension,
elbows extend, wrist-neutral
Neck from hyperextension to align with trunk in neutral as hips and knees extend
Head moves ahead of feet so that COM-positioned over feet
B.W fully accepted by L.E and the individual stands
Muscle Activity
Trunk muscles ( Erector
Spinae) contract
isometrically to stabilize the
trunk
Quadratus Lumborum & G.
Medius & Minimus on the
elevated hip lift& rotate
pelvis forward as
contralateral side
elongated
Abdominal muscles( R.Ab,
Int. & Ext. Obliques) then
flex to move trunk to an
erect position
Hamstrings contract to
increase knee flexion so
that feet slide under chair,
Gastrocnemius assist knee
flexion & contracts to
stabilize feet, Ankles D.F by
T.ant
Post. Deltoid, Lat. D, Teres
Major move shoulder into
extension as downward
scapula rotators
(Rhomboids & L. scapulae)
position the scapulae
Once Buttock lifts, Hips
extend via co-contraction of
G.max and Hamstrings
Knee Extends by
Quadriceps co-contraction
and Gastrocnemius and the
individual stands
LIFTING
• There are various types of lifting positions.
a. With lumbar flexion =Stoop lift: extensor of back
contribute to most of the work. (Lumbo-pelvic
rhythm)
b. With neutral position of lumbar= Squat lift:
extensor of hip contribute to most of the work.
(Reverse Lumbo-pelvic rhythm)
• The load on lumbar region increases as inclination of
trunk increases.
Sequence of movement-
Box moved closer to the body, Trunk erect, Standing motion takes place
U.E moved forward in shoulder flexion with extended elbows to reach and
obtain a firm grasp
Hips flex to move torso over the box, Back Straight & Neutral
Ankle Dorsiflexed, Tibia over foot, Knees flexed to lower the body. So hands
able to grasp the box
To move in squat, hips laterally rotate to about 45 degree and flex to 90
degree
Wide BOS, Stand close to the object
Flexion of spine, proper alignment using hips to move torso rather the back
Head & Trunk – in midline alignment stabilize the Lumbar spine
Positioning of Head, Trunk & Pelvis
Scapular Rotators co-contract to stabilize scapulae as shoulders move to about 60 degree
flexion, adducted near trunk with shoulders midway between medial and lateral rotation
Elbow, Forearm extension and mid position to reach the box and grasp
Wrist Extended into functional position. Thumb and fingers move first into full extension and
abduction- reach and then flexion and adduction to grasp
Box Lifted moved closer to the trunk, Hip and Knee move from flexion to extension to
maintain BOS with hip in extension, slight abduction and knee in extension
Joint Motion
Postural control- neck flexors
(SCM and scalenes) and
extensors (spleneii).
The erector spinae and
abdominals contract to
stabilize the trunk.
The wide BOS in hip abduction
is accomplished by
contractions of the gluteus
medius and minimus,TFL, and
the sartorius.
Moving into a squat, the
erector spinae muscles
isometrically contract to
maintain proper spinal
position and the abdominals
provide lumbar stabilization.
hips and knees flex using
eccentric contractions of the
gluteus maximus and
hamstrings at the hip and
quadriceps at the knee.
As the squat deepens, the
deep lateral rotators, gluteus
maximus, and sartorius
continue to maintain the hips
in lateral rotation.
The gastrocnemiussoleus
muscles stabilize the ankles in
this closed chain position on
the floor.
As the box is lifted, the shoulders
move into flexion by the clavicular
portion of pectoralis major, anterior
deltoid, and coracobrachialis,
and adducted alongside the trunk
by the pectoralis major, latissimus
dorsi, and teres major, midway
between medial and lateral rotation
by the subscapularis, anterior
deltoid, infraspinatus, and teres
minor muscles.
The elbows are maintained in
extension by cocontraction the
triceps and elbow flexors (biceps
brachii, brachialis, and
brachioradialis).
The wrists are stabilized in
functional position by cocontraction
of wrist extensors (extensor carpi
radialis longus and brevis and
extensor carpi ulnaris) and finger
flexors (flexor digitorum
superficialis and profundus);
fingers are also adducted by the
palmar interossei.
When the individual is ready to lift
the box, the knees and hips extend
through concentric contraction of
the gluteus maximus and
hamstrings at the hip and
quadriceps at the knee.
The BOS stays wide in hip
abduction; lateral rotation is
provided by the gluteus medius,
gluteus minimus, sartorius,gluteus
maximus, and deep lateral rotators
to stand up holding the box.

Biomechanics of Gait, Posture and ADL

  • 1. Biomechanics of Integrated Function- Gait, Posture & ADL -Soniya Lohana Ist MPT Department of Sports Physiotherapy
  • 3. Contents  Introduction  Phases of Gait Cycle  Kinematics of Gait  Kinetics of Gait  Temporal & Spatial Variations of Gait Cycle  Muscle Activity during Gait  Determinants of Gait  Evidences  References
  • 4. What is Human Locomotion/Gait ? • Translatory progression of body as a whole • Produced by co-ordinated, rotatory movements of body segments • Series of rhythmic, alternating movements of the trunk & limbs which result in forward progression of the Center of Gravity.
  • 5. Initial contact of one leg to initial contact of the same leg.
  • 6.
  • 7. Phases of Gait Cycle 0 % 12 % 50 % 62 % 100 %
  • 8. WHY KINETICS & KINEMATICS IS IMPORTANT? • Kinetic analysis makes it possible to measure the magnitude and direction of external forces acting on limb, during the different phases of gait • Kinematic analysis makes it possible to determine the locomotion of joint in space • The combination of above 2 methods makes it feasible the calculation of the externally generated moments of force at various joints
  • 9. Kinematics of Gait Spatial Characteristics Temporal Characteristics  Step Length Stride Length Step Width Angle of Progression  Velocity Step Duration Cadence
  • 10.
  • 11. Sagittal Plane Motion • In the sagittal plane, the two vertical oscillations of the body’s COM follow a smooth sinusoidal curve. • The curve’s highest point occurs at midstance for each foot while the lowest segment of the sinusoidal curve is at double support. • Actual vertical displacement of the COM varies from 2 to 5 cm, depending on stride length and walking speed. • Angular motions of flexion and extension occur at the hip, knee, and ankle in the sagittal plane.
  • 12.
  • 13. Frontal Plane Motion • Maximum lateral displacement occurs during unilateral stance and is about 2 cm to the left and to the right. • When visualized in both the sagittal and frontal planes during walking, the body’s COM is at its highest in the sagittal plane and its most lateral position in the frontal plane at the same time
  • 14.
  • 16. • Pelvis: 5° to 8° lateral tilt in the frontal plane, 3° anterior and posterior tilt in the sagittal plane, and a total of 8° protraction and retraction in the transverse plane. • Hip: 10° extension to 25°–30° flexion in the sagittal plane; 15° adduction to 5° abduction in the frontal plane; and 8° to 14° in the transverse plane. • Knee: full extension to 60° flexion in the sagittal plane; 3° to 8° in the frontal plane; 10° to 20° in the transverse plane •Ankle and foot: 10° dorsiflexion to 20° plantarflexion in the sagittal plane; 5°–8° inversion and eversion.
  • 17. Kinetics of Gait - Newton’s 3rd law of motion • Ground reaction force (GRF) - force transmitted from floor to the foot , passed on up to all body segments - reflection of body weight and acceleration - vertical , anterior – posterior, and mediolateral Relationship of GRF & jt.axis during stance phase
  • 18.
  • 19. Kinetics of Gait THE FORCES OF MAJOR IMPORTANCE IN ANALYSIS OF HUMAN LOCOMOTION ARE: Internal Forces-The forces exerted by muscular contraction Muscle forces & Passive tension from connective tissues External forces – The forces exerted by the pull of gravity Inertia, Gravity & Friction
  • 20.
  • 21.
  • 22.
  • 23. Muscles of Gait 1. PRETIBIAL GROUP • During the heel strike phase, lengthening contraction(eccentric ) of the foot dorsiflexors lets the foot down from heel strike to foot flat position in a slow and controlled manner. In rest of stance phase, the invertors and evertors act to keep the foot stable in ML direction. • Important for the stability on rough ground or on a walking on a hillside.
  • 24. 2.CALF GROUP- GASTRONEMIUS AND SOLEUS Max activity during the push off phase to propel the COG up and forward 3. QUADRICEPS GROUP- Max activity after heel strike , acting as shock absorbers to control knee flexion to 15 degrees. 4. HAMSTRINGS GROUP- Double peak of activity just before and after heel strike. first peak occurs during swing , and it keep the knee from buckling. second peak at the termination of stance phase working toward hip and knee extension for push off.
  • 25. 5. ABDUCTOR GROUP- GLUTEUS MEDIUS AND MAXIMUS - Active during heel strike and early stance phase to stabilize the pelvic tilt to 5 degrees. 6. ADDUCTOR GROUP- - after heel strike, they assist abductors to stabilize the pelvis - At end of stance phase, they work together with other hip flexors to accelerate the limb forward in preparation for swing
  • 26. 7. GLUTEUS MAXIMUS- - more active during heel strike phase, when it acts as a shock absorber. Their extension function keep both hip and knee from buckling. 8. ERECTOR SPINAE- Becomes active during heel strike and its activity is necessary to keep the trunk from folding forward from the force of inertia and gravity. Also stabilises the trunk mediolaterally.
  • 27.
  • 28.
  • 29. Determinants of Gait • Used to minimize excursion of CG in vertical & horizontal planes • Reduces the energy consumption of ambulation Pelvic Rotation Lateral pelvis tilt Knee flexion Ankle Mechanism Foot Mechanism Physiological valgus of knee
  • 30. 1. Pelvic rotation: • Forward rotation of the pelvis in the horizontal plane approx 8 degree on the swing- phase side • Reduces the angle of hip flexion & extension • Enables a slightly longer step-length w/o further lowering of COG
  • 31. 2. Pelvic tilt: - 5 degree dip of the swinging side (i.e. hip adduction) - In standing, if this dip is a positive Trendelenberg sign - Reduces the height of the apex of the curve of COG
  • 32. 3. Knee flexion in stance phase: - Approx. 20 degree dip - Shortens the leg in the middle of stance phase - Reduces the height of the apex of the curve of COG
  • 33. 4. Ankle mechanism: -Lengthens the leg at heel contact -Smoothens the curve of COG -Reduces the lowering of COG
  • 34. 5. Foot mechanism: - Lengthens the leg at toe-off as ankle moves from dorsiflexion to plantarflexion - Smoothens the curve of COG - Reduces the lowering of COG
  • 35. 6. Physiological valgus of knee - Reduces the base of support, so only little lateral motion of pelvis is necessary.
  • 36. Common Gait Abnormalities • Antalgic Gait - Gait pattern in which stance phase on affected side is shortened - Corresponding increase in stance on unaffected side - Common causes: OA, Fracture, Tendinitis
  • 37. • Lateral Trunk bending/Trendelenberg gait -Usually unilateral -Bilateral = waddling gait • Common causes:  Painful hip  Hip abductor weakness  Leg-length discrepancy  Abnormal hip joint
  • 38. HIP ABDUCTOR LOAD & HIP JOINT REACTION FORCES
  • 39. • Functional Leg-Length Discrepancy - Swing leg: longer than stance leg - 4 common compensations: A. Circumduction B. Hip hiking C. Steppage D. Vaulting
  • 40. Increased Walking Base - Normal walking base: 5-10 cm • Common causes: - Deformities - Abducted hip - Valgus knee • Instability - Cerebellar ataxia - Proprioception deficits
  • 41. Inadequate Dorsiflexion Control/foot drop gait - In stance phase (Heel contact – Foot flat): Foot slap - In swing phase (mid-swing): Toe drag • Causes:  Weak Tibialis Ant.  Spastic plantarflexors
  • 42. Running Gait - Require greater balance, muscle strength, ROM than normal walking. - Difference b/w running and walking • Reduced BOS • Absence of double support • More coordination and strength needed • Muscle must generate higher energy to raise HAT higher than in normal walking. • Divided into flight and support phase
  • 43. Stair Gait Ascending and descending stairs is a basic body movement required for ADL Stair gait involves stance and swing phase SWING PHASE(36%) • Foot clearance • Foot placement STANCE PHASE(64%) • Weight acceptance • Pull up • Forward continuance
  • 44. SIMILARITIES & DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LEVEL GROUND GAIT AND STAIR GATE Similarities to Walking Differences with Walking •Double support periods •Ground reaction forces have double peak •Cadence similar •Support moment is similar (always positive with two peaks) •More hip and knee flexion •Greater ROM needed •Peak forces slightly higher •CoP is concentrated under metatarsals, rarely near heel •Step height may vary from stairway to stairway •Railings may be present
  • 45. • Title - Gait-training devices in the treatment of lower extremity injuries in sports medicine: current status and future prospects Authors- Alexandra F. DeJong & Jay Hertel • Aim- This review seeks to provide synthesized information on gait-training techniques and devices applied, in four of the most prevalent chronic lower extremity injuries seen in sports medicine. • Methods- Comprehensive searches were performed identify gait-training articles in Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI), Exercise-Related Lower Leg Pain (ERLLP), Patellofemoral Pain (PFP), and Anterior Cruciate Ligament with Reconstruction (ACLR) populations. reviewed articles and extracted data includes study demographics, gait-training techniques, devices used, and primary gait-training outcomes. 58 articles were included in this review Pooled analyses were performed for common outcomes within each injury category. Current evidence supports destabilization training and pressure medialization tactics for CAI (n = 9), footstrike/loading and cadence interventions for ERLLP (n = 11) and PFP (n = 7), and limb off-loading techniques for ACLR (n = 4). Commonly used devices included accelerometers (n = 6), custom gait-training footwear (n = 9), metronomes (n = 14), and pressure sensors (n = 5). • Conclusion-Wearable sensors will continue to revolutionize gait-training and allow for ecologically valid gait-training interventions.
  • 46. • Title- Gait Mechanics and Tibiofemoral Loading in Men of the ACL- SPORTS- RCT Author- Jacob J. Capin et al • Aim- Development of the anterior cruciate ligament specialized post-operative return-to-sports (ACL-SPORTS) program, to test the effect of 10 post-operative training sessions consisting of strength, agility, plyometric, and secondary prevention exercises (SAPP) or SAPP plus perturbation (SAPPþPERT) training on gait mechanics after ACLR. • Methods- A total of 40 male athletes (age 237 years) after primary ACLR were randomized to SAPP or SAPPþPERT training and tested at three distinct, post- operative time points: 1) after impairment resolution (Pre-training); 2) following 10 training sessions (Post-training); and 3) 2 years after ACLR. Knee kinematic and kinetic variables as well as muscle and joint contact forces were calculated via inverse dynamics and a validated EMG-informed musculoskeletal model. • Conclusion- There were no significant changes seen however, meaningful gait asymmetries mostly resolved between post-training and 2 years after ACLR regardless of intervention group.
  • 47. • Title- Gait Mechanics and Second ACL Rupture: Implications for Delaying Return-to-Sport Author- Jacob J. Capin et al. • Aim- to compare gait biomechanics and return-to-sport time frames in a matched cohort of young female athletes who, after primary ACLR, returned to sport without re-injury or sustained a second ACL injury. • Methods- 14 young women involved in jumping, cutting, and pivoting sports underwent motion analysis testing after physical therapy and impairment resolution. Following objective return-to-sport clearance, 7 athletes sustained a second ACL rupture within 20 months of surgery. They matched them by age, sex, and sport-level to seven athletes who returned to sports without re- injury. Data were analyzed using a previously validated, EMG-informed, patient-specific musculoskeletal model. • Conclusion- Delayed return-to-sport clearance even in the absence of gait or clinical impairments following primary ACL reconstruction may be necessary to mitigate second ACL injury risk in young women.

  • 50. What is Posture? • Alignment of Body Segments • Attitude assumed by the body either with support during muscular inactivity or by means of the coordinated action of many muscles working to maintain stability. • Postural adjustments are rapid & automatic in normal function. • Requires interaction of multiple systems. • Static Vs Dynamic
  • 51. ERECT BIPEDAL STANCE AND QUADRUPEDAL POSTURE • Erect bipedal stance gives us freedom for the U.E • certain disadvantages - increases the work of the heart; places increased stress on the vertebral column, pelvis, and lower extremities; and reduces stability. • Small base of support and large center of gravity - In quadrupedal posture the body weight is distributed between the upper and lower extremities. - Large base of support and low center of gravity
  • 52. Kinetics & Kinematics of Posture  External forces: Inertia, Gravity and Ground Reaction Forces(GRF’s) Internal forces: muscle activity, passive tension in ligaments, tendons, joint capsules and other soft tissue structures
  • 53. Inertia • In the erect standing posture the body undergoes a constant swaying motion called postural sway or sway envelope • Sway envelope for a normal individual, standing with 4” between the feet – 12° in sagittal plane and 16° in frontal plane Gravity • Gravitational forces act downward from the body’s COG • In static erect standing posture, the LOG must fall within the BOS
  • 54. Ground Reaction Forces Vector • GRFV is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the gravitational force in erect standing posture • The point of application of GRFV is at the body’s centre of pressure(COP) • COP is located in the foot in unilateral stance and b/w the feet in bilateral standing postures
  • 55. Analysis of Posture - In normal standing posture, the LOG falls close to, but not through most joint axes - Compressive forces are distributed over the weight bearing surfaces of joints; no excessive tension exerted on ligaments - Skilled observational analysis of posture involves identification of the location of body segments relative to the LOG - Body segments-either side of LOG are symmetrical - A plumb line is used to represent the LOG

  • 57. SAGITTAL PLANE ALIGNMENT IN NORMAL POSTURE In erect standing, the body is aligned approximately so that a line through the body’s COM passes very close to the ear, slightly anterior to the acromion process of the scapula, close to the greater trochanter, slightly anterior to the knee joint, and anterior to the ankle joint

After modeling/simulation with the AnyBody modeling system, the influence of posture on muscle activity throughout the body is highlighted.
  • 77. • Title-Does the type of sport practised influence foot posture and knee angle? Differences between footballers and swimmers Author- Eva Lopezosa-Reca et al. • Aim-To observe the differences in foot posture and the angle of the knee according to different physical activities. • Methods- 78 football players and 72 swimmers were recruited, and in each case a foot posture analysis, based on the foot posture 10 index (FPI), was conducted and the Q angle of the knee was determined. The following mean values were obtained for the lower extremities: in the swimmers, FPI 6.45 ± 2.04 and Q angle 15.38º ± 3.79º. In the footballers, FPI 2.23 ± 1.72 and Q angle 13.16º ± 1.36º. • Conclusion- There were statistically significant differences 15 (p < 0.001) between the two groups. The swimmers presented a foot posture with a tendency towards pronation, and a Q angle with a tendency towards valgus, while the results for the footballers were within the normal range

  • 80. BIOMECHANICS • The study of mechanics in the human body is referred to as biomechanics. • Functional Biomechanics: link between human body and environment which dictates human function. • Human functions are 3 dimensional.
  • 81. WHAT ARE ADL’S ? • Activities of Daily Living are simple as well as complex movements which humans carry out everyday • Activities involved in taking care of themselves, performing work related tasks, enjoying leisure and recreational time. • To analyze the biomechanics: Sequence of Movement Joint Motion Muscle Activity
  • 82. MOBILITY- SIT TO STAND Sequence of movement- Trunk moves upright to place COM over feet & hands move to rest COM moves forward over the feet as L.L extend Hands are on arms of the chair Hips move to edge of the seat and body leans forward to place trunk’s COM over legs Extremities are prepared to accept body weight
  • 83. Joint Motion Hips are moved forward in the chair – B.W moves from one side of pelvis to other as the NWB pelvis rotates forward until hips are on the edge Trunk moves to an upright position when hips are on the edge of the seat- in preparation elbow flexed at 90 degree at the arm rest Shoulders are hyperextended with elbows behind the trunk, hips flexed as trunk forward over thighs Knees flexed beyond 90 degree to move feet under the hips and ankles are dorsiflexed Forearm either pronated or neutral midposition, Wrist extension, Fingers & thumb flexed Movement to standing- shoulders- hyperextension to neutral hyperextension, elbows extend, wrist-neutral Neck from hyperextension to align with trunk in neutral as hips and knees extend Head moves ahead of feet so that COM-positioned over feet B.W fully accepted by L.E and the individual stands
  • 84. Muscle Activity Trunk muscles ( Erector Spinae) contract isometrically to stabilize the trunk Quadratus Lumborum & G. Medius & Minimus on the elevated hip lift& rotate pelvis forward as contralateral side elongated Abdominal muscles( R.Ab, Int. & Ext. Obliques) then flex to move trunk to an erect position Hamstrings contract to increase knee flexion so that feet slide under chair, Gastrocnemius assist knee flexion & contracts to stabilize feet, Ankles D.F by T.ant Post. Deltoid, Lat. D, Teres Major move shoulder into extension as downward scapula rotators (Rhomboids & L. scapulae) position the scapulae Once Buttock lifts, Hips extend via co-contraction of G.max and Hamstrings Knee Extends by Quadriceps co-contraction and Gastrocnemius and the individual stands
  • 85. LIFTING • There are various types of lifting positions. a. With lumbar flexion =Stoop lift: extensor of back contribute to most of the work. (Lumbo-pelvic rhythm) b. With neutral position of lumbar= Squat lift: extensor of hip contribute to most of the work. (Reverse Lumbo-pelvic rhythm) • The load on lumbar region increases as inclination of trunk increases.
  • 86. Sequence of movement- Box moved closer to the body, Trunk erect, Standing motion takes place U.E moved forward in shoulder flexion with extended elbows to reach and obtain a firm grasp Hips flex to move torso over the box, Back Straight & Neutral Ankle Dorsiflexed, Tibia over foot, Knees flexed to lower the body. So hands able to grasp the box To move in squat, hips laterally rotate to about 45 degree and flex to 90 degree Wide BOS, Stand close to the object Flexion of spine, proper alignment using hips to move torso rather the back Head & Trunk – in midline alignment stabilize the Lumbar spine
  • 87. Positioning of Head, Trunk & Pelvis Scapular Rotators co-contract to stabilize scapulae as shoulders move to about 60 degree flexion, adducted near trunk with shoulders midway between medial and lateral rotation Elbow, Forearm extension and mid position to reach the box and grasp Wrist Extended into functional position. Thumb and fingers move first into full extension and abduction- reach and then flexion and adduction to grasp Box Lifted moved closer to the trunk, Hip and Knee move from flexion to extension to maintain BOS with hip in extension, slight abduction and knee in extension Joint Motion
  • 88. Postural control- neck flexors (SCM and scalenes) and extensors (spleneii). The erector spinae and abdominals contract to stabilize the trunk. The wide BOS in hip abduction is accomplished by contractions of the gluteus medius and minimus,TFL, and the sartorius. Moving into a squat, the erector spinae muscles isometrically contract to maintain proper spinal position and the abdominals provide lumbar stabilization. hips and knees flex using eccentric contractions of the gluteus maximus and hamstrings at the hip and quadriceps at the knee. As the squat deepens, the deep lateral rotators, gluteus maximus, and sartorius continue to maintain the hips in lateral rotation. The gastrocnemiussoleus muscles stabilize the ankles in this closed chain position on the floor.
  • 89. As the box is lifted, the shoulders move into flexion by the clavicular portion of pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, and coracobrachialis, and adducted alongside the trunk by the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, and teres major, midway between medial and lateral rotation by the subscapularis, anterior deltoid, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles. The elbows are maintained in extension by cocontraction the triceps and elbow flexors (biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis). The wrists are stabilized in functional position by cocontraction of wrist extensors (extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis and extensor carpi ulnaris) and finger flexors (flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus); fingers are also adducted by the palmar interossei. When the individual is ready to lift the box, the knees and hips extend through concentric contraction of the gluteus maximus and hamstrings at the hip and quadriceps at the knee. The BOS stays wide in hip abduction; lateral rotation is provided by the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, sartorius,gluteus maximus, and deep lateral rotators to stand up holding the box.
