Walking
The Gait-Cycle
Michael E. Graham, DPM, FACFAS, FASPS

Walking is a series of interrupted falls.
![Page 3: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Did you know…
![Page 4: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
…walking is the second most common conscious function of our
body next to breathing.
![Page 5: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Average Person takes:
Nearly 7,000 steps a day
2,555,000 steps a year
25,550,000 steps every ten years
![Page 6: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Let’s do some
simple math.
![Page 7: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Average number of steps taken for the average, non-sportive, person.
• 10 years of walking = 25,550,000 steps• 20 years of walking = 51,100,000 steps• 30 years of walking = 76,650,000 steps• 40 years of walking = 102,200,000 steps• 50 years of walking = 127,750,000 steps• 60 years of walking = 153,300,000 steps• 70 years of walking = 178,850,000 steps
![Page 8: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Walking should be easy and effortless, just like breathing.
![Page 9: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Our feet shouldn’t hurt after we use them.
![Page 10: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
There are 2 main phasesof walking.
Non-weight bearing No-Contact Swing Phase (no weight on the foot)
Weight-bearing Contact Phase
(weight on the foot)
![Page 11: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Non-Contact Phase
Foot has just left the ground and is
advancing forward until the heel is
about to touch the ground again.
No weight on the foot from the body
above.
![Page 12: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Contact PhaseFoot/heel makes contact with the
weightbearing surface below.
4 to 8 times the weight of the body is passing through the foot.
3 main parts to this phase of walking
![Page 13: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Contact Phase
• Heel Strike• Mid-stance• Push-off/Toe-off
![Page 14: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
There are complex motions of the foot that
are essential for an optimum functioning
foot.
![Page 15: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
These motions result in a locking and unlocking of the joints within the foot.
Pronationand
Supination
![Page 16: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The amount of pronation & supination is very important as there are
specific periods during the walking cycle when the foot should be supinated and other times when it needs to be
pronated.
![Page 17: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Supination - Pronation
• Opposite movements between the ankle bone and the foot.
• Think of it as a winding and unwinding of the foot mechanism.
• A period of stability and less stability of the foot structures while walking.
![Page 18: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
These motions should occur like a well played symphony.
![Page 19: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
There are so many different individual instruments or components working with and against each
other for the end result of a
dynamic unified effort.
![Page 20: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What is supination?
This is an over-supinated foot.
Foot angles inward
Ankle bone (talus)
![Page 21: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
This is pronation.
This is a severely pronated foot.
Talus goes this way
Foot angles out-ward
![Page 22: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
During pronation the foot is a Mobile Adapter
This is a very important aspect of the foot to allow slight accommodation to an uneven weightbearing surface below the foot.
During this time there is a normal amount of adaptation that is acceptable and built into the mechanics of the foot.
![Page 23: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What is the normal amount of motion ?Pronation should only have a few degrees.
Supination should be twice
the amount of pronation.
![Page 24: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What controls how much pronation or supination occurs in the foot?
![Page 25: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
It starts with the talus (ankle bone).
![Page 26: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
And its stability/connections to two hindfoot bones.
![Page 27: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
There is a specific point when the foot needs to be supinating.
![Page 28: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
During the contact phase of walking the hindfoot lands supinated,
quickly pronates, and re-supinates for toe-off.
![Page 29: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
At mid-stance the foot needs to transition from its supinated position
into a pronated position.
![Page 30: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Finally, the hindfoot must transition back into supination in order to prepare
the foot for lift-off.
![Page 31: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Can the bottom of our feet tell us anything?
![Page 32: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
A foot print only tells
a very small part of
the story of foot motion.
![Page 33: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
When walking we land on our outer heel.
![Page 34: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Then the outside of the foot makes contact.
![Page 35: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Before you know it your whole foot in on the ground.
![Page 36: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
So when we are walking the forces from our body travel through the back and outside of our foot.
![Page 37: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Then these forces should make their way through our big toe joint.
![Page 38: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
But that is just what is happening on the bottom of our foot.
![Page 39: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Just imaging what is happening above the bottom of our foot- a lot of very important things.
![Page 40: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
When the individual parts are working/functioning in harmony walking is easy, however, if there is a
prolonged period of pronation, symptoms will occur. It is just a matter of time.
![Page 41: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The mechanics of these feet
are not right.
![Page 42: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
This results in a prolonged period of pronation
or over-pronation.
But that is another slide presentation.
![Page 43: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Life is motion
and
when you can’t walk,
your quality of life
quickly fades.
![Page 44: Walking - Gait Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052215/55625520d8b42a6c368b52f3/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
