“…In response, a lower force minimum may be observed as active momentum has been generated in the initial phase of the gait cycle facilitating forward propulsion (Hsiang and Chang, 2002). This was proposed by the authors to be in accordance with the inverse pendulum model described by MacKinnon and Winter (1993). This in turn leads to reduced momentum being needed to advance the body during mid-stance and toe-off, in this circumstance leading to a reduction in the respective forces.…”

“…The hip flexors play an important role during the initial swing phase of gait to pull the swinging limb forward, 22 and the hip abductors are important for stability during stance. 23 It is possible that subjects with strong hip flexors and abductors were able to better control mediolateral balance during stance and pull their swinging limb forward to increase stride length and consequently increase gait speed.…”

Study design: Prospective analysis of relationships. Objectives: (1) To quantify the relationship between individual lower extremity muscle strength and functional walking measures and (2) to determine whether a multiple regression model incorporating lower extremity muscle strength could predict the performance of functional walking measures in persons with incomplete spinal cord injury (ISCI) living in the community. Setting: Tertiary rehabilitation center, Vancouver, Canada. Methods: In all, 22 subjects with ISCI participated. The relationship between functional walking measures (gait speed, 6-min-walk distance, and ambulatory capacity) and muscle strength (manual tests of hip flexors/extensors/abductors, knee flexors/extensors, ankle dorsiflexors/plantarflexors, and great toe extensors) were measured by Pearson's correlation and regression procedures. Results: For both the more and less affected sides, hip flexors, hip extensors, and hip abductors produced the highest correlations with the three functional measures. The less affected hip flexor strength explained more than 50% of the variance in gait speed and 6-min-walk distance while the less affected hip extensor strength explained up to 64% of the variance in ambulatory capacity. For all three functional measures, the strength of the less affected limb was more important than that of the more affected limb. Conclusions: Lower extremity muscle strength, in particular that of hip flexors, hip extensors, and hip abductors, is an important determinant of functional walking performance.
