,Definition
Rhythmic, cyclic movement of the limbs in
relation to the trunk resulting in forward
propulsion of the body.
Gait is your manner, pattern, or style of
walking. An easy walking gait is normal and
healthy, but injury, illness, or muscle weakness
can cause pain or functional mobility loss that
affects your gait
,NORMAL GAIT REQUIRES
Normal functioning of musculoskeletal system of
lower limbs & spine.
Good sensory feedback from propioceptive sensation
from feet and the joints.
Visual ,labrinthine sensory inputs & co ordination
add smoothness, rhythm & elegance to the human
gait.
, GAIT TERMINOLOGY
➢ Base of support
➢ Step length
➢ Stride length
➢ Gait cycle
➢ Cadence
➢ Walking velocity
➢ Double limb support
➢ Single limb support
➢ Ground reaction force vector
