The Gait Cycle [Part 1] | Initial Contact (IC) → Midstance (MSt)

The video tutorial covers the first three phases of the gait cycle: initial contact, loading response, and midstance. It explains the mechanics and functions of each phase, including the roles of different muscles and joints. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of impact deceleration, weight acceptance, and stability during these phases, using terms like heel rocker and ankle rocker to describe the movement dynamics.
