Dutch term

Neerslagfase

Dutch to English Medical Medical (general) Orthopaedic footwear
Looking for a translation of the word "neerslagfase" in the following context:

"Vergelijkend onderzoek naar de verschillen in het looppatroon van de linker en rechter extremiteit door controle van: hielcontact, neerslagfase, balcontact, steunfase, hielophef, afstootfase, teenophef"

Presumably it has something to do with the foot hitting the ground, but I cannot find any translation or exact explanation of the term, or even of "neerslag" in the context of walking/gait.

Thanks in advance!!

@ Michael Niet ingewikkeld maar afgewikkeld. :-)

Dit proces (landingsfase, steunfase, afzetfase) tijdens het lopen heet namelijk de 'voetafwikkeling'.
Michael Beijer Nov 1, 2015:
@Barend: Wat ingewikkeld allemaal, heh, die voeten ;)
Barend van Zadelhoff Nov 1, 2015:
@ Michael If we use the terminology of your reference, then this is what I would call the 'landing phase' of the foot:

the period between 'heel strike' and 'early flatfoot'.

At the beginning of the 'flatfoot phase' the whole foot has landed.

Similarly, the period between late flatfoot (early heel rise) and toe off is what I would call the take off phase.



Michael Beijer Nov 1, 2015:
@Barend: Agree. And in my words (see previous comment 11:12):

"The ‘neerslagfase’ would appear to be somewhere after ‘heel strike’ (hielcontact), and before ‘heel rise’ (hielophef). In between these two we have ‘early flatfoot’ and ‘late flatfoot’."

(based on info here: http://www.footeducation.com/foot-and-ankle-basics/biomechan... )
Barend van Zadelhoff Nov 1, 2015:
Mee eens.
Alleen zou ik het zo verwoorden:

De 'landing phase' is de periode tussen het maken van 'hielcontact' (heel strike) en het maken van balcontact (ball strike).

Bij het balcontact is de hele voet geland.
Het landen loopt van het hielcontact tot het balcontact.

Channa Malkin (asker) Nov 1, 2015:
Dank Barend en Michael voor jullie antwoorden. Het is inderdaad Vlaams, daarom komen er een aantal erg onbekende termen voor in de tekst. Footfall en landing phase kunnen denk ik allebei, maar footfall lijkt meer gebruikt te worden in de context van paardensport. Als ik het goed heb betekent "strike" dus het hielcontact, en is "landing" het gehele neerkomen van de voet, dus neerslag.
Barend van Zadelhoff Nov 1, 2015:
Rustig aan, Michael.

Channa, ik zie dat je bij je overige vragen aangeeft dan het Vlaams betreft.
Dat verklaart mogelijk dat de term 'neerslagfase' is gebruikt.
Ik ben die term nog nooit tegengekomen in dit verband en kan ook geen enkel internetdocument vinden waarin die term in dit verband wordt gebruikt.
Michael Beijer Nov 1, 2015:
@Barend: Looks convincing. No time to read your answer carefully as I am on baby duty at the moment, but I will when I have a moment!
Michael Beijer Nov 1, 2015:
I wonder if "foot fall phase" or "footfall phase" or "footfall" would work?
Channa Malkin (asker) Nov 1, 2015:
Thank you for your reply, downstroke indeed seems like a good option. I think "strike phase" would also work, and is used more often in the context of gait analysis.
Michael Beijer Nov 1, 2015:
I'm pretty sure the ‘neerslagfase’ stage is in the following document (which explains the various stages of walking, aka ‘Phases of Gait’), somewhere:

http://www.footeducation.com/foot-and-ankle-basics/biomechan...

The ‘neerslagfase’ would appear to be somewhere after ‘heel strike’ (hielcontact), and before ‘heel rise’ (hielophef). In between these two we have ‘early flatfoot’ and ‘late flatfoot’.
Michael Beijer Nov 1, 2015:
@Channa: Although it seems to be used more in connection with cycling, etc., I wonder if you could use ‘downstroke phase’, or ‘downstroke ×’.

Van Dale: ‘neerslag: (4) neerwaartse beweging = downstroke’

Try Googling: gait, gait analysis, walking pattern, etc.

landing phase

Ik ken de term 'landingsfase' in deze situatie.

neerslagfase = landingsfase = landing phase
afstootfase = afzetfase = take off phase

Contact- en Zwaaifase

Een volledige loopcyclus begint wanneer een voet contact maakt met de grond, en eindigt wanneer dezelfde voet opnieuw contact maakt met de grond. De cyclus bestaat uit twee fasen:

1.Contactfase, waarin (een deel van) de voet de grond raakt;
2.Zwaaifase, waarin diezelfde voet de grond niet raakt.

De contactfase is de belangrijkste fase omdat dan het volledige lichaamsgewicht op één voet en been rust. Deze fase wordt weer in drie stadia onderverdeeld:

1.Landingsfase;
2.Standfase;
3.Afzetfase.

Laten we de fasen van de loopcyclus eens wat beter bekijken. In de animatie hieronder zie je de loopcyclus van het rechterbeen.

http://nl.asics.be/running/knowledge/hoe-we-hardlopen-de-loo...

four phases in walking

1) landing phase, in which the heel strikes the fround
2) stationary phase, in which the foot is flat on the ground
3) takeoff phase in which the front of the foot strikes the ground
4) swing phase, in which the foot is passed forward

During the landing phase, support of body weight is transferred from the trailing foot to the leading foot;

Similarly, gait cycle has a landing phase when the foot strikes the ground ground (heel strike), midstance phase (when the foot is in complete contact with the ground) and take off phase (toe off) when the foot leaves the ground and swing phase when the foot is in the air.

hielcontact, neerslagfase, balcontact, steunfase, hielophef, afstootfase, teenophef

It seems this is an option:

heel strike, landing phase, ball strike, midstance phase, heel off, take off phase, toe off

footfall (phase)

I think this is correct. See my Discussion entries and Reference comment.

found this (on Dutch university website, but looks good)):

"One burst appears during the transition from swing to stance imposing an extensor force on the knee to restrict knee flexion at and after footfall.

[…]

One single step cycle is subdivided into 16 equal intervals, the beginning of the 1st interval coinciding with ipsilateral footfall (see methods).

[…]

Basically three periods of facilitatory responses can be discerned. One period is observed during midstance. The response amplitude decreases at end stance, with a minimum at the beginning of swing before contralateral footfall. During swing, two response periods can be observed, one with a maximum around phase 10 and one with a maximum around phases 15 and 16,

[…]

For BF and TA, population averages of the contralateral control and mean (of th e 3 intensities used) reflex data are plotted, starting with contralateral footfall (phase 9), and compared with the corresponding mean ipsilateral data, starting with ipsilateral footfall."

Thank you, this looks really good! I will go with footfall.
