Educational Objectives

Explain the phases of human walking gait
Discuss the biomechanical events associated with stance phase of gait
Discuss the biomechanical events associated with swing phase of gait
Explain biomechanically what is happening during each phase of gait in the foot, ankle, knee and hip
Discuss the 3 rockers of the foot and how they apply to the gait cycle
