Document Summary
Early walking: arms in high guard, early walking patterns tend to maximize stability and balance. Independent steps are taken: rate controller are strength and balance. Proficient walking: trading stability for mobility: stride length increases, base of support is reduced, pelvis is rotated, opposition. Later walking: maximizing stability: out-toeing increases, objects are used as balance aids, stride length decreases, pelvic rotation decreases, speed decreases, when balance become rate limiter, our bos becomes wide again. Arms will come out in front to provide stability: rom decreases as age and this influences our gait. * be able to explain immature, proficient, and later walking* Running: occurs 6-7 months after walking starts. Defined by: 50% phasing of the legs. In order to progress from walking to running, we need increase strength, be able to have less stability, and be able to propel yourself into the air (strength).
