    In flat foot there is shock to the knee. what muscle groups absorbs this shock?

    Correct Answer
    A. Quadriceps - eccentric
    Explanation
    You are in flatfoot but the knee is bending and as it does so the quadriceps eccentically contact.

    • Hamstrings - concentric contraction

    • Quadriceps concentric contraction

    Correct Answer
    A. Hamstring - eccentric contraction
  • 35. 

    In midstance, the tibia moves forward due to the:

    Explanation
    This is when you are coming forward, to prevent you from over extending the thigh.
