This document defines normal human gait and the gait cycle. It describes that normal gait involves a series of controlled falls that results in forward progression. The gait cycle is defined as a single sequence of limb functions from floor contact of one foot to the next floor contact of the same foot. Key phases and subdivisions of the gait cycle are explained, including stance, swing, single support and double support phases. The path and determinants of the center of gravity during gait are also summarized.

Knee braces are supports that you wear for a painful or injured knee. Some people use them to prevent knee injuries during sports. They come in many sizes, colors and designs. With such a huge range of knee supports it can be very difficult choosing the correct one. The pain can be caused from a variety of reasons, some of the most common being knee surgery, knee replacements, sports injuries. Have categorized our supports into Low, Medium, High and Ultimate level groups to help you make the correct choice for your knee injury. Braces are made from combinations of metal, foam, plastic, elastic material and straps.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. Gait Cycle - Definitions:
►Normal Gait =
Series of rhythmical , alternating movements of
the trunk & limbs which result in the forward
progression of the center of gravity
series of ‘controlled falls’
3. Gait Cycle - Definitions:
► Gait Cycle =
Single sequence of functions by one limb
Begins when reference foot contacts the ground
Ends with subsequent floor contact of the same foot
4. Gait Cycle - Definitions:
► Step Length =
Distance between corresponding successive points
of heel contact of the opposite feet
Rt step length = Lt step length (in normal gait)
5. Gait Cycle - Definitions:
► Stride Length =
Distance between successive points of heel contact of
the same foot
Double the step length (in normal gait)
6. Gait Cycle - Definitions:
► Walking Base =
Side-to-side distance between the line of the two feet
Also known as ‘stride width’
7. Gait Cycle - Definitions:
►Cadence =
Number of steps per unit time
Normal: 100 – 115 steps/min
Cultural/social variations
8. Gait Cycle - Definitions:
► Velocity =
Distance covered by the body in unit time
Usually measured in m/s
Instantaneous velocity varies during the gait cycle
Average velocity (m/min) = step length (m) x cadence
(steps/min)
► Comfortable Walking Speed (CWS) =
Least energy consumption per unit distance
Average= 80 m/min (~ 5 km/h , ~ 3 mph)
9. Normal Development
Walking begins at about 12 - 15 months of age.
Children have shorter legs, so cadence is increased (170 st/min at
age 1 yr to 140 st/min at 7y)
Stride length is roughly the same as height (stature), so a child 0.5 m
tall will have an expected stride length of about 0.5 m
Velocity is roughly 1 stature/s, so a child 0.5 m tall will have an
expected walking velocity of about 0.5 m/s
Walking pattern more flexed than adult, especially at hip and knee,
becomes adult at 7 yrs, and gait parameters stabilise by 16 - 18 yrs
(when long bones stop growing)
Elderly people gradually shorten stride length after about 65 yrs, but
cadence remains relatively constant
10. Gait Cycle - Components:
► Phases:
(1)Stance Phase: (2) Swing Phase:
reference limb reference limb
in contact not in contact
with the floor with the floor
11. Gait Cycle - Components:
► Support:
(1) Single Support: only one foot in contact with the floor
(2) Double Support: both feet in contact with floor
12. Gait Cycle - Subdivisions:
A. Stance phase:
1. Heel contact: ‘Initial contact’
2. Foot-flat: ‘Loading response’, initial contact of forefoot w. ground
3. Midstance: greater trochanter in alignment w. vertical bisector of foot
4. Heel-off: ‘Terminal stance’
5. Toe-off: ‘Pre-swing’
13. Gait Cycle - Subdivisions:
B. Swing phase:
1. Acceleration: ‘Initial swing’
2. Midswing: swinging limb overtakes the limb in stance
3. Deceleration: ‘Terminal swing’
15. ► Time Frame:
A. Stance vs. Swing:
►Stance phase = 60% of gait cycle
►Swing phase = 40%
B. Single vs. Double support:
►Single support= 40% of gait cycle
►Double support= 20%
16. ► With increasing walking speeds:
►Stance phase: decreases
►Swing phase: increases
►Double support: decreases
► Running:
►By definition: walking without double support
►Ratio stance/swing reverses
►Double support disappears. ‘Double swing’ develops
17. Path of Center of Gravity
►Center of Gravity (CG):
midway between the hips
Few cm in front of S2
►Least energy consumption if CG travels in
straight line
18. Path of Center of Gravity
A. Vertical displacement:
► Rhythmic up & down movement
► Highest point: midstance
► Lowest point: double support
► Average displacement: 5cm
► Path: extremely smooth sinusoidal
curve
19. Path of Center of Gravity
B. Lateral displacement:
► Rhythmic side-to-side movement
► Lateral limit: midstance
► Average displacement: 5cm
► Path: extremely smooth sinusoidal
curve
20. Path of Center of Gravity
C. Overall displacement:
► Sum of vertical & horizontal
displacement
► Figure ‘8’ movement of CG

plane
21. Determinants of Gait :
►Six optimizations used to minimize excursion
of CG in vertical & horizontal planes
►Reduce significantly energy consumption of
ambulation
►Classic papers: Sanders, Inman (1953)
22. Determinants of Gait :
(1) Pelvic rotation:
Forward rotation of the pelvis in the horizontal plane approx. 8o
on the swing-phase side
Reduces the angle of hip flexion & extension
Enables a slightly longer step-length w/o further lowering of CG
23. Determinants of Gait :
(2) Pelvic tilt:
5o dip of the swinging side (i.e. hip adduction)
In standing, this dip is a positive Trendelenberg sign
Reduces the height of the apex of the curve of CG
24. Determinants of Gait :
(3) Knee flexion in stance phase:
Approx. 20o dip
Shortens the leg in the middle of stance phase
Reduces the height of the apex of the curve of CG
25. Determinants of Gait :
(4) Ankle mechanism:
Lengthens the leg at heel contact
Smoothens the curve of CG
Reduces the lowering of CG
26. Determinants of Gait :
(5) Foot mechanism:
Lengthens the leg at toe-off as ankle moves from
dorsiflexion to plantarflexion
Smoothens the curve of CG
Reduces the lowering of CG
27. Determinants of Gait :
(6) Lateral displacement of body:
The normally narrow width of the walking base minimizes
the lateral displacement of CG
Reduced muscular energy consumption due to reduced
lateral acceleration & deceleration
