Add to cartDescribe the compensated trendelenburg gait that occurs with hip pain.
Compensated trendelenburg gait shifts GRFV through the painful hip joint to stabilize the joint and decrease torque. Without compensation, abductor muscles have to contract against adduction moment, which causes compression at the hip joint.

Define gait versus walking versus mobility.
Gait refers to the pattern of movement of the limbs during locomotion. Walking is one form of locomotion. Mobility refers to the ability to safely and independently move from one point to another.
input text value
List 3 dimensions of the neural control of walking.
1. Sensory: afferent input
2. Spinal cord: central pattern generators
3. Supraspinal: cortical systems for complex navigation (obstacles, etc.) to adapt gait pattern.
input text value
Define and describe the function of central pattern generators (CPG).
CPG is a network of neurons and inter-neurons in the spinal cord that generate coordinated movements autonomously. They are modified by ascending and descending signals from the cortex and the periphery.

Name two ascending sensory inputs that influence the stance-to-swing transition.
Hip extension and unloading of ankle plantarflexors.
