Definition
Position: 20-30 degrees of flexion
Moment: Large extensor/flexion
MA: Lower G-max, Adductor Magnus, Hamstrings (reduced)
FS: Prevent excessive hip flexion to provide stability at hip, trunk and knee. Hamstrings are reduced to help with hip extension but not cause knee flexion |

Term
|
Definition
Position: 20 degrees flexion
Moment: Extensor/flexion and Abductor/adduction
MA: Lower G-max, Adductor Magnus and Hamstrings. Post TFL, G-min, G-med, upper G-max
FS: Keep trunk erect and control hip flexion moment. Stabilize the pelvis and prevent excessive drop of opposite pelvis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Position: 0 degrees
Moment: Abductor/adduction
MA: No muscel for sagittal plane. Post TFL, G-min, G-med, upper G-max
FS: Stabilization of pelvis in frontal plane, Prevent excessive drop of opposite pelvis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Position: 20 degrees hyperextension
Moment: Flexor/extension. Abductor/adduction
MA: TFL, Adductor Longus
FS: Restrain extending hip, Low level control of frontal plane pelvis movement. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Position: 10 degrees hyperextension
Moment: Flexor/extension that decreases with unweighting
MA: Adductor Longus and gracilis, Rectus Femoris
FS: Decelerate the extending hip, initiate hip flexion, hip flexion contributes to knee flexion, rectus may control knee flexion |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Position: 15 degrees of flexion
Moment: flexor/extension secondary to tibial inertia
MA: Iliacus, Adductor Longus, Sartorius, Gracilis
FS: Hip flexion. Move limb towards midline (AL). Facilitate knee flexion as discussed previously. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Position: 25 degrees Flexion
Moment: Extensor/Flexion due to rapidly advancing tibia
MA: Hamstrings
FS: Decelerate thigh advancement |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Position: 20-30 degrees flexion
Moment: Hip flexion moment decreases by the end of terminal swing
MA: Hamstrings, lower and upper G-max, Adductor Mag, G-med, TFL
FS: Decelerate the flexing hip and extending knee. Prepare limb for stabilizing leg in sagittal and frontal planes at initial contact |
