Frequently Asked Questions
How does the toe off phase contrast with heel strike when you take everyday steps?
During everyday walking, the toe off phase is when your toes lift off the ground at the end of your step, while heel strike is when your heel initially contacts the floor. This sequential process helps maintain a fluid gait.
How does the toe off phase contribute to your overall walking pattern in daily life?
The toe off phase plays a key role in gait by acting as the final push before the swing phase. Your toes provide a propelling force, ensuring your steps are efficient and smooth during regular activities.
