This engages the pre-swing, where the foot loses contact with the ground first from the heels and then the toes to be in a ready position to start the swing phase. This motion is what propels you forward. Similar to the mid-stance motion, the swing phase has its own 3-step mid-swing motion that initiates in a foot swing to switch over to the opposite leg. After toe-off, Jessica’s left foot begins in the initial swing, requiring your hip flexor muscles to be activated. Mid-swing is when your center of gravity once again is directly over your foot. Terminal swing is the stepping forward action that subsequently begins the cycle all, starting with the heel strike. The force exerted throughout these three phases first accelerates then decelerate by the end. The hip positioning regresses from extension back into flexion, so does the foot from plantar flexion to dorsiflexion. The knee is in flexion during the swing movement to be in position to then extend forward and being the cycle again.
