Question

question 46 (mandatory) (2 points)
listen
what is the name of the distance between two consecutive contact points of the same limb?
a) step
b) stride
c) cadence
d) walking speed

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Step is the distance between two consecutive contact points of the same limb (e.g., between two successive heel strikes of the right foot).
• Option b: Stride is the distance between two consecutive contact points of the same limb but involves two steps (one from each leg), so it's the distance between, say, two right heel strikes with a left heel strike in between. This is not the same as the distance for a single limb’s consecutive contacts.
• Option c: Cadence is the number of steps per unit time, not a distance.
• Option d: Walking speed is the rate of movement (distance over time), not a specific distance between contact points.

So the correct term for the distance between two consecutive contact points of the same limb is Step.

Answer:

a) Step
