GENERAL CHARACTERISTIC
OF NORMAL GAIT
6 NORMAL DETERMINANTS
1. Pelvic Rotation (D/S @ 4o)
2. Pelvic Tilt (5o)
3. Knee Flexion (Double Knee Lock
40% of Stance)
4. Foot-Ankle Mechanisms (2 arc)
5. Lateral Displacement of the Pelvis
(+ 3 inches, TFA)
6. Knee-Ankle Mechanisms
METHODS OF STUDYING
NORMAL HUMAN LOCOMOTION
Factors :
1. Gravity force (External Force)
measured with :
1. Kinetic (magnitude & direction)
2. Kinematic (joint’s location in space)
2. Muscular force (Internal Force)
measured active specific muscle with EMG
3. Inertial effects
4. The angular relationship between the segments of LE during the
different phases of the walking cycle
