The term used to describe walking speed is
Question options:
cadence.
stride length.
gait cycle.
period of nonsupport.
on During the loading response of the stance phase, which muscle group contracts eccentrically to keep the foot from slapping the ground as that extremity accepts the body's weight?
Question options:
Knee extensors
Ankle dorsiflexors
Ankle plantar flexors
Toe flexors
on You will be working with a patient who has had a stroke. You expect which of the following descriptions to best characterize
the typical gait pattern that you will see?
Question options:
Excessive anterior pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis with exaggerated arm swing
A shift of the trunk to the affected side with weight-bearing
Weight shift to the uninvolved side with circumduction of the involved leg
A quick shift posteriorly of the trunk at the moment of heel strike
on The period of the stance phase when the body is directly over the weight-bearing limb and the vertical displacement of the pelvis is at its highest point is
Question options:
initial contact.

midstance.
terminal stance.
on A person with excessive lumbar lordosis could need stretching
instruction for which group of muscles?

on Postural sway is a normal phenomenon that is largely controlled by gravity and which of the following muscle groups?
Question options:
Quadriceps and hamstrings
Hip extensors and flexors
Ankle plantar flexors and dorsiflexors

on If you note a problem with gait that occurs when the non-
weight-bearing limb is directly under the body, you are speaking of which part of the swing phase?
Question options:
Preswing
Initial swing
Midswing
Terminal swing
on Your patient has a long leg cast on the left leg but is allowed to bear weight while ambulating. During the swing phase, what will you likely see that person do to move that limb forward?
Question options:
Extend the trunk
Shift the trunk to the left side during swing phase
Circumduct the left hip
Flex the knee on the right side
on Which muscle group slows down the knee motion in terminal swing and prevents the knee from "snapping" into extension just prior to initial contact?
