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
Understand the calcaneocuboid locking mechanism and defend it's importance in the stance phase of gait
Summarize the ranges of motion of the foot, ankle, knee and hip and their importance in normal gait
Explain how stance phase abnormalities would impact the gait cycle
Demonstrate competency in obtaining a reproducible Pedograph print
Interpret rearfoot, midfoot and forefoot mechanics as seen on a pedograph print
Identify and interpret problem areas in a pedograph print
Identify stance phase abnormalities on a Pedograph print
Extrapolate pathomechanics which would occur rostrally in the kinetic chain during pathomechanics occurring in the gait cycle
Evaluate the impact of gait abnormalities on human locomotion
