1 INTRODUCTION TO GAIT ANALYSIS DATA 1. Phases of gait a. Stance (% gc) i. Loading response (10%) ii. Mid- and terminal stance (%) iii. Pre-swing (10%) b. Swing (% gc) i. Initial swing ii. Mid-swing iii. Terminal-swing 2. Data collected a. Kinematics 3-D joint motion of pelvis, hips, knees and ankles i. Allows assessment of motion in 3 planes: 1. Sagittal flexion/extension 2. Coronal ab/adduction 3. Transverse rotation Knee Flexion/ension D e g re e s 10 0 % gc Normal Left Right b. Kinetics ernal joint net moments and powers i. Information about factors producing or controlling motion 1. Describes joints response to external moments a. Power absorption eccentric contraction b. power generation concentric contraction ii. Provides additional information to use with kinematics and electromyography in explaining gait deviations iii. Helpful for evaluating effectiveness of treatment interventions, bracing and assistive devices, for example: DF PF eration PF DF orption Motion Moment Power

2 c. Electromyography (EMG) i. Muscle timing during gait cycle 1. Surface EMG for large, superficial muscles or muscle groups 2. Fine wire EMG for specific muscles or deep muscles such as posterior tibialis ii. Needed to determine appropriateness of muscle for transfer Raw EMG Processed EMG INTERPRETATION PROCESS: 1. ress patient s/family s concerns, each of MDs proposed interventions 2. Observe child walking, note stability in stance, clearance in swing, etc. 3. List of impairments on static exam a. ROM limitations, bony deformities, b. Strength and control limitations, c. Tone abnormalities 4. Examine kinematics and kinetics a. Note primary deviations b. Compare barefoot to braced or other conditions, note differences 5. Examine EMG a. Note areas of abnormal timing especially helpful for stiff knee (rectus femoris) and foot deformities (AT, PT) 6. Summary list of each gait problem/functional problem, probable cause(s) and recommended interventions Problem Cause ervention 1. a. b. c. a. b. c. 2. a. b. c. a. b. c.

5 NAME: Case #2 AGE: 9 yrs DIAGNOSIS: Myelomeningocele REASON FOR REFERRAL: Gait analysis to determine the need for bilateral TDRO, left FDRO, bilateral psoas recessions and bilateral hamstring lengthenings, and to evaluate gait in KAFOs locked vs. unlocked. GAIT HISTORY: wears KAFOs bilaterally. walks independently. falls 2-3x daily at school, when running and playing. has FMS ratings of 6 for 5 meters, 5 for meters, and 5 for 0 meters. PHYSICAL THERAPY EVALUATION Leg lengths: left = 62.5 cm, right = 62.5 cm, measured ASIS to medial malleolus.
