    Definition of spatial feature of gait is

    • A.

      Measurement of duration of gait

    • B.

      Measurement of time of gait

    • C.

      Measurement of foot placement

    Correct Answer
    C. Measurement of foot placement
    Explanation
    The spatial feature of gait refers to the measurement of foot placement. This involves analyzing the distance and position of each foot as it is placed during walking or running. By measuring foot placement, researchers and healthcare professionals can assess various aspects of gait, such as stride length, step width, and overall stability. This information is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring conditions that affect gait, such as Parkinson's disease or musculoskeletal disorders.

    Measurement of duration of gait is called

    • A.

      Spatial

    • B.

      Temporal

    • C.

      Kinematics

    Correct Answer
    B. Temporal
    Explanation
    The measurement of duration of gait refers to the time taken for each step during walking or running. This is known as temporal measurement because it focuses on the timing aspect of the gait cycle. It involves analyzing the time intervals between different events in the gait cycle, such as heel strike and toe-off. By measuring the temporal aspects of gait, researchers and clinicians can assess the timing and coordination of movement, identify abnormalities or asymmetries, and track progress in rehabilitation or treatment.

    A definitions of Kinematics is

    • A.

      Examination of forces and effects on body

    • B.

      Body in motion regardless of forces that produce that motion

    • C.

      Examination of body and effects in motion

    Correct Answer
    B. Body in motion regardless of forces that produce that motion
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "body in motion regardless of forces that produce that motion". Kinematics specifically focuses on the study of motion, without considering the forces that cause that motion. It is concerned with describing the position, velocity, and acceleration of objects in motion, as well as the relationships between these quantities. This definition highlights the fact that kinematics is solely concerned with the motion itself, rather than the forces responsible for it.

    Which of the following is not a ways to analysis gait

    • A.

      Observation

    • B.

      Force plate analysis

    • C.

      Foot pressure studies

    • D.

      2d motion analysis

    Correct Answer
    D. 2d motion analysis
    Explanation
    2D motion analysis is not a way to analyze gait because it only captures movement in two dimensions, typically using video cameras, which limits the amount of information that can be obtained about the complex movements and forces involved in walking. Other methods such as observation, force plate analysis, and foot pressure studies provide more comprehensive data on gait patterns, forces exerted, and pressure distribution on the feet.

    What is not a requirement for normal gait

    • A.

      Hearing

    • B.

      Vision

    • C.

      Muscle

    Correct Answer
    A. Hearing
    Explanation
    Hearing is not a requirement for normal gait because gait refers to the pattern of walking, which primarily relies on the coordination of muscles and the ability to maintain balance. While hearing can contribute to spatial awareness and safety during walking, it is not essential for the basic mechanics of gait. Vision, on the other hand, plays a crucial role in gait as it helps to detect obstacles and maintain balance. Muscles are also essential for generating the necessary movements and providing stability during walking.

    • C.

      Height and toe

    Correct Answer
    B. Head arm and trunk
    Explanation
    The acronym HAT stands for head, arm, and trunk. This means that when referring to HAT, it is referring to the three main parts of the human body: the head, the arms, and the trunk or torso.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    During gait muscles use

    • A.

      Minimum energy

    • B.

      Maximum energy

    • C.

      Stored energy

    Correct Answer
    A. Minimum energy
    Explanation
    During gait, muscles use minimum energy because the human body is designed to be efficient in its movements. When walking or running, the muscles work in a coordinated manner, utilizing the body's natural biomechanics to conserve energy. This is achieved through a combination of muscle contractions and relaxations, as well as the efficient transfer of energy from one muscle group to another. By using minimum energy, the body is able to sustain prolonged periods of walking or running without excessive fatigue.

    How many phase of gait

    • A.

      2

    • B.

      3

    • C.

      4

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    The question is asking about the number of phases in gait. Gait refers to the pattern of movement of the limbs during locomotion. The correct answer is 2 because there are two main phases in gait: the stance phase and the swing phase. During the stance phase, the foot is in contact with the ground, providing support. In the swing phase, the foot is off the ground, moving forward in preparation for the next step. These two phases alternate as a person walks or runs, making 2 the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    How much time is the gait cycle in double support in gait

    • A.

      10%

    • B.

      20%

    • C.

      30%

    Correct Answer
    B. 20%
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 20% because during the gait cycle, there are two periods of double support where both feet are on the ground. These periods occur at the beginning and end of the gait cycle, each accounting for approximately 10% of the total gait cycle. Therefore, the total time spent in double support is 20% of the gait cycle.

  • 10. 

    Which of the following is not stance phase of gait

    • A.

      Pre swing

    • B.

      Mid swing

    • C.

      Loading response

    Correct Answer
    B. Mid swing
    Explanation
    The correct answer is mid swing because mid swing is not a phase of the stance phase of gait. The stance phase of gait consists of loading response, mid stance, and terminal stance. Mid swing is a phase of the swing phase of gait, which occurs after the stance phase. During mid swing, the leg is swinging forward and preparing for foot contact with the ground.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Heel rise is end of which phase and start of which phase

    • A.

      Loading response - mid stance

    • B.

      Mid stance - terminal stance

    • C.

      Terminal stance - pre swing

    Correct Answer
    B. Mid stance - terminal stance
    Explanation
    Heel rise marks the transition from mid stance to terminal stance. During mid stance, the body weight is fully transferred onto the supporting foot, and the foot is flat on the ground. As the heel begins to lift off the ground, it indicates the start of terminal stance, where the body prepares for the push-off phase and the foot propels the body forward in preparation for the swing phase.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Goals that must be achieved in gait

    • A.

      Ground clearance

    • B.

      Balance of head arms and trunk at shoulder

    • C.

      Body mass transfer to swinging leg

    Correct Answer
    A. Ground clearance
    Explanation
    Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the lowest point of the body during gait. It is an important goal that must be achieved in gait to ensure that the feet do not drag on the ground and cause tripping or stumbling. Maintaining adequate ground clearance allows for smooth and efficient movement while walking or running.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    When does swing phase occur

    • A.

      Heel rise to toe off

    • B.

      Toe off to heel strike

    • C.

      Heel strike to opposite toe off

    Correct Answer
    B. Toe off to heel strike
    Explanation
    The swing phase occurs from toe off to heel strike. During this phase, the foot is off the ground and swinging forward, preparing for the next step. The toe off is when the toes push off the ground, propelling the body forward, and the heel strike is when the heel makes contact with the ground again to start the next stance phase.

    Degree between the line of progression and midline of foot is called

    • A.

      Toe in / toe out angle

    • B.

      Base of gait

    • C.

      Stride length

    Correct Answer
    A. Toe in / toe out angle
    Explanation
    The degree between the line of progression and midline of the foot is referred to as the toe in/toe out angle. This angle describes the direction in which the toes are pointing during walking or running. A toe-in angle indicates that the toes are pointing inward, towards the midline of the body, while a toe-out angle suggests that the toes are pointing outward, away from the midline. This angle is important in assessing gait abnormalities and can help identify issues with foot alignment and biomechanics.

    • A.

      Quadriceps and adductors

    • B.

      Quadriceps and hamstring

    • C.

      Hamstring and adductors

    Correct Answer
    B. Quadriceps and hamstring
    Explanation
    The quadriceps and hamstring muscles work as antagonists because they perform opposite actions at the knee joint. The quadriceps are responsible for knee extension, which straightens the leg, while the hamstring muscles are responsible for knee flexion, which bends the leg. When one muscle contracts, the other relaxes to allow for the desired movement. Therefore, the quadriceps and hamstring muscles work as antagonists to maintain balance and control in leg movements.

    • F.

      Sartorius

    Correct Answer
    B. Rectus femoris
    Explanation
    The rectus femoris is not a knee flexor. It is actually a knee extensor, as it is one of the four muscles that make up the quadriceps group. The bicep femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus are all muscles that make up the hamstring group and are responsible for knee flexion. The gracilis and sartorius are also muscles that contribute to knee flexion.

    Which of these is not a knee extensor

    • A.

      Vastus medialis

    • B.

      Rectus femoris

    • C.

      Vastus lateralis

    • D.

      Sartorius

    Correct Answer
    D. Sartorius
    Explanation
    The sartorius muscle is not a knee extensor. It is the longest muscle in the human body and functions primarily as a hip flexor and knee flexor. It helps with crossing the legs and rotating the thigh. The other three muscles listed, vastus medialis, rectus femoris, and vastus lateralis, are all knee extensors and play a role in extending the knee joint.

    The knee internally rotates from which 2 pionts

    • A.

      Heel strike to foot flat

    • B.

      Heel off to toe off

    • C.

      From toe off to initial contact

    Correct Answer
    C. From toe off to initial contact
    Explanation
    The correct answer is from toe off to initial contact. During the gait cycle, the knee internally rotates as the foot moves from the toe off phase, where the foot pushes off the ground, to the initial contact phase, where the foot makes contact with the ground again. This internal rotation of the knee helps to absorb shock and maintain stability during the transition from the swing phase to the stance phase of walking or running.

    Lateral rotation of the femur and medial rotaion of the tibia is called

    • A.

      Locking of knee

    • B.

      Unlocking of the knee

    • C.

      Knee valgus

    Correct Answer
    B. Unlocking of the knee
    Explanation
    The correct answer is unlocking of the knee. This term refers to the movement in which the femur laterally rotates and the tibia medially rotates, allowing the knee joint to move from a fully extended position to a flexed position. This unlocking motion is necessary to initiate knee flexion and allows for smooth and controlled movement of the joint.

    Unlocking of the knee is nessary for what to happen

    • A.

      Loosen tension on collateral and cruciate ligaments

    • B.

      Tighten tension on collateral and criate ligaments

    • C.

      To maintain a stable knee

    Correct Answer
    A. Loosen tension on collateral and cruciate ligaments
    Explanation
    locking of knee stablises knee, ligaments become taut by the medial rotaion of the femur and lateral rotation of the tibia during final stages of extension. enables upright standing with little energy expenditure.

    During initial contact the knee is

    • A.

      Flexed

    • B.

      Extended

    Correct Answer
    A. Flexed
    Explanation
    During the initial contact phase of walking or running, the knee is flexed. This means that the knee joint is bent, bringing the lower leg closer to the upper leg. This flexion helps to absorb the impact of the foot hitting the ground and allows for a smooth transition into the next phase of the gait cycle. Flexing the knee also helps to activate the muscles in the thigh and calf, providing stability and control during the initial contact phase.

    Which of these is a demand on the knee

    • A.

      Shock absorption as the limb is loaded (stance)

    • B.

      Extensor stability for secure weight bearing (stance)

    • C.

      Rapid flexion in swing for limb advancement (swing)

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Shock absorption as the limb is loaded (stance)
    B. Extensor stability for secure weight bearing (stance)
    C. Rapid flexion in swing for limb advancement (swing)
    Explanation
    The knee joint is subjected to various demands during different phases of the gait cycle. During the stance phase, the knee needs to provide shock absorption as the limb is loaded, which helps to distribute the impact forces and protect other structures. Additionally, it requires extensor stability for secure weight bearing, ensuring that the knee remains stable and can support the body's weight. In the swing phase, the knee needs to perform rapid flexion to advance the limb forward for the next step. These demands on the knee joint are essential for normal gait and locomotion.

    The knee reaches maximum flexion at

    • A.

      Toe off

    • B.

      Heel lift

    • C.

      Mid swing

    Correct Answer
    C. Mid swing
    Explanation
    The knee reaches maximum flexion at mid swing because during this phase of the gait cycle, the leg is swinging forward and the knee is flexing to allow for clearance of the foot. As the leg swings forward, the knee bends to bring the foot up towards the buttocks. This maximum flexion occurs before the leg starts to extend for the next phase of the gait cycle.

    Angle of inclination is on what plane of motion

    • A.

      Transverse

    • B.

      Frontal

    • C.

      Sagittal

    Correct Answer
    B. Frontal
    Explanation
    The angle of inclination refers to the angle at which a body segment or joint deviates from the frontal plane of motion. The frontal plane divides the body into front and back halves, and movements that occur in this plane are typically side-to-side or lateral movements. Therefore, the correct answer is frontal.

    Coxa vara is

    • A.

      When the angle of the femoral inclination has decreased to beyond 128 degree

    • B.

      When the angle of the femoral inclination has increased to beyond 128 degree

    • C.

      When the angle of the femoral inclination is 128 degree

    Correct Answer
    A. When the angle of the femoral inclination has decreased to beyond 128 degree
    Explanation
    Coxa vara is a condition where the angle of the femoral inclination has decreased beyond 128 degrees. This means that the angle between the femoral neck and the shaft of the femur is less than the normal range. This can lead to various issues such as a shorter leg, abnormal gait, and hip pain. It is important to diagnose and treat coxa vara to prevent further complications and improve overall function.
