    The document contains a multiple choice neurological gait assessment with 7 questions. Question 1 asks about the definitions of temporal and spatial gait characteristics. Question 2 asks about open and closed kinetic chains during gait. Question 3 asks about factors that affect muscle activation patterns during gait. Question 4 asks about the role of soft tissue recoil and elasticity on muscle power and energy requirements. Question 5 asks about statements related to real world walking habits. Questions 6 and 7 ask about the effects of an ankle foot orthosis and factors related to push off during gait.

    Neurological gait

    Multiple Choice 1) Which of the following is true? a) Temporal characteristics of gait include cadence, step width, spatial characteristics includes stride width, step length. b) Spatial characteristics include stride length, step width. Temporal characteristics includes cadence, step time, velocity c) Both are correct d) Neither are correct 2) Which is true? a) Open chain kinetics includes the swing phase where the limb is not weight bearing and the movement of the proximal joint influences the position of the distal joint b) Closed kinetic chain involves the stance phase during weight bearing. Movement at the distal joint influences the position of the proximal joint. c) Both are correct d) Neither are correct 3) Which is true? a) Muscle activity is more during acceleration b) Act over long distances c) Gait speed affects the muscle activation pattern d) All the above 4) Which is true? a) Soft tissue recoil increases the power burst of muscles b) An increase in speed, increases stretch therefore increases elastic recoil. c) An increase in stretch recoil decreases the energy required by the muscle d) Passive contribution of the muscle increases with gait speed 5) Which of the following is false a) 50 % of hip flexor activity is through elastic recoil b) 50% of hip Plantar flexor activity is through elastic recoil c) 60% of real world walking lasts more than 30 seconds d) 50 % of real world walking involves a turn 6) Which of the following is true about the AFO a) decreases weight distribution b) increases step length c) decreases speed d) none of the above 7) which of the following is true a) we depend heavily of plantar flexion for push off b) it takes less than three steps to reach a steady state of walking c) during controlled falling our COP falls behind the COM and this decreases out plantar flexor activity d) all of the above

    Short answer
    1) Explain the 3 main tasks of the gait cycle 2) What are some commonly observed gait abnormalities, state possible reasons for them 3) Describe the temporal and spatial characteristics of a hemiplegic gait and any compensatory strategies they may use. 4) List the principles of gait retraining 5) What is the lokomat? What are its limitations? 6) How can we progress independent mobility before the patient participates in work, sports activites etc? 7) What are some considerations when prescribing someone with a mobility aid?
