Overview Gait cycle analysis integrates biomechanics, neurology, and orthopaedic rehabilitation. Know stance vs swing phases and normal joint kinematics. Phases Stance (~60%): initial contact, loading response, mid-stance, terminal stance, pre-swingSwing (~40%): initial swing, mid-swing, terminal swing Key Observations Pelvic rotation and tilt, knee flexion in swing, ankle rockerDeviations: antalgic gait, Trendelenburg, circumduction, steppage Exam Tips State percentage of cycle spent in stance vs swingName muscles active in each sub-phase for long answers
