Normal joint-angles during stance and swing phase. Range of motion summary in the sagittal plane measured in degrees.
| Phase of the gait cycle | STANCE PHASE | SWING PHASE | |||
| Early 0 – 10% GC. | Mid 10 – 30% GC. | Late 30 – 60% GC. | Early 60 – 70% GC. | Late 70 – 100% GC. | |
| Trunk | Positioned above the hip | Positioned above the hip | |||
| Pelvis | 5° forward rotation | 0° | 5° backward rotation | 5° backward rotation | 5° forward rotation |
| Hip | 25° flexion | 0° | 30–50% GC: 10° extension 50–60% GC: 0° | 15° flexion | 25° flexion |
