I have attached the assignment that I have already done but I received this message from my tutor and he told me I would fail with this if I submit it. I really need to pass this assignment in order to pass the unit.

Hi Amy I’ve just downloaded it, but noticed that you haven’t answered a number of questions. The graph questions that asked for you to add vertical lines to the page to section off phases or powers and then label, have not been done. Considering that you failed the first assessment, and without looking over your assessment 2 thoroughly, I’m concerned that you might be in danger of failing the unit. I’m happy to let you re-submit with all questions answered if you like. If you want to do this, please let me know and I’ll clear your first submission from the system.

Could the expert please go through and answer all my questions I didnt do, edit my current answers so they are better and also the graph questions that need fixing like stated above in my feedback from my tutor.
Thankyou

Question 1(a). How do these event and phase percentages compare to normal walking gait patterns? (2 marks)
A gait cycle is refe
ed to as a motions sequence or the interval of time that occurs between two consecutive initial contacts of the same foot. The events and their percentages are similar to the normal gait patterns. This is because they have approximately the same percentages with only a slight deviation. This makes the set similar to the normal walking gait set. A normal walking gait pattern has the values of the events given above as shown below:

Question 1(b). Calculate the following gait parameters and show workings: (4 marks)
· stride length [cm],
· step length [cm],
· cadence [strides/min],
· Walking speed [m/min].
Stride length is the distance between successive points of initial contact of the same foot. Taking the first foot therefore;
· Stride length = 2* step length = 2* 70 = 140 cm
Step length is the distance between the point of initial contact of one foot and the point of initial contact of the opposite foot.
· Step length = 257 - 187 = 70 cm
Cadence is also refe
ed to as the walking rate.
· Cadence = 199-12 = 187 strides/min
Walking speed is the product of the cadence and step length
· Walking speed = 187 * (0.7) = 130.9 m/min
Question 2 - Sagittal joint kinematics.
a) Use vertical lines down the page & add labels to indicate stance & swing phases on these graphs. Also indicate mid-stance. NOTE: Ignore the numbers on the horizontal axis. These numbers are NOT percentages, but are simply frames. (4 marks).
Stance
Swing Phase
Stance
) Describe how the knee joint is rotating throughout the gait cycle. (4 marks)
In the open kinetic chain, during knee extension, tibia glides anteriorly on the femur. From 200 knee flexion to full extension, the tibia rotates externally. During knee flexion, tibia glides posteriorly on femur and from full knee extension to 200 flexion, tibia rotates internally.
c) How does the ankle joint rotation differ to the ‘normal’ gait pattern presented in your lecture podcasts? (2 marks)
The ankle allows the foot to move in six different ways. These include upwards, downwards, rocking back on heels with the balls of the feet elevated, raising the feet off the ground as you go up on the balls of the feet, and side to side movements. In a normal gait pattern, there is an extension of the knee so that the lower leg is swung forward with the foot flexed and raised upwards. This is a dorsal flexion or movement of the foot upwards just as in the ankle joint rotation. So this rotation is the one that is used in the normal gait pattern.
Question 3 – Ground reaction forces.
a) These are GRF traces normalized to body weight. Label them as vertical or anterior-posterior (A-P) GRF traces. NOTE: The scale of the vertical axes is ‘Body Weights’. (2 mark)
Body Weight
) Considering the ‘normal’ gait patterns presented in your lecture podcasts, comment on the magnitude of force in each peak in both graphs. Also comment on the trough in the second graph. (2 marks)
The magnitude of the forces in the peaks are indexes of fluidity and smoothness of the stride. Since...
