03.01.2022 And another ...

02.01.2022 POSTURE AND GAIT The lower limbs function primarily in standing and walking. Typically, the actions of lower limbs muscles are described as if the muscle were... acting in isolation, which rarely occurs. It is important to be familiar with lower limb movements and concentric and eccentric contractions of muscles, and to have a basic understanding of the process of standing and walking. STANDING AT EASE When a person is standing at ease with the feet slightly apart and rotated laterally so the toes pint outwards, only a few of the back and lower limb muscles are active. The mechanical arrangement of the joints and muscles are such that a minimum of muscular activity is required to keep from falling. In the stand-easy position, the hip and knee joints are extended and are in their most stable positions (maximal contact of articular surfaces for weight transfer, with supporting ligaments taut). EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES (A) Lateral View The relationship of the line of gravity to the transverse rotational axes of the pelvis and lower limb in the relaxed standing position I demonstrated. Only minor postural adjustments, mainly by the extensors of the back and the plantarflexors of the ankle, are necessary to maintain this position because the ligaments of the hip and knee are being tightly stretched to provide passive support. (B) Inferior View A bipedal platform is formed by the feet during relaxed standing. The weight of the body is symmetrically distributed around the centre of gravity, which falls in the posterior third of a median plane between the slightly parted and laterally rotated feet, anterior to the rotational axes of the ankle joints. The ankle joint is less stable than the hip and knee joints, and the line of gravity falls between the two limbs, just anterior to the axis of rotation of the ankle joints. Consequently, a tendency to fall forward (forward sway) must be countered periodically by bilateral contraction of the calf muscles (plantarflexion). The spread of splay of the feet increases lateral stability. However, when lateral sway occurs, it is countered by the hip abductors (acting through the IT band). The fibular collateral ligament of the knee joint and the evertor muscles of one side act with the thigh adductors, tibial collateral ligament, and invertor muscles of the contralateral side. Walking: The Gait Cycle Locomotion is a complex function. The movements of the lower limbs during walking on a level surface may be divided into alternating swing and stance phases. The gait cycle consists of one cycle of swing and stance by one limb. The stance phase begins with a heel strike, when the heel strikes the ground and begins to assume the body's fll weight (loading response), and ends with a push off by the forefoot a result of plantarflexion. Stabilization and resilience are important during locomotion. The invertors and evertors of the foot are principal stabilizers of the foot during the stance phase. Their long tendons, plus those of the flexors of the digits, also help support the arches of the foot during the stance phase, assisting the intrinsic muscles of sole.
