Type . | Description . |
---|---|
I | A drop-foot pattern associated with weak anterior tibial muscles |
II | Characterized by knee flexion throughout stance due to a functionally tight gastrocnemius with normal hip extension |
III | Persistent knee and hip flexion due to functionally tight gastrocnemius and hip flexors |
IV | Knee hyperextension and ‘tibial arrest’ associated with a functionally tight soleus |
V | Persistent ankle dorsiflexion with knee hyperextension, the latter compensates for weak or spastic quadriceps |
