From: Intrinsic foot joints adapt a stabilized-resistive configuration during the stance phase
| - Loading Response: The phase begins with initial floor contact and continues until the other foot is lifted for swing. | |
| - Mid Stance: It begins as the other foot is lifted and continues until body weight is aligned over the forefoot. | |
| - Terminal Stance: It begins with heel rise and continues until the other foot strikes the ground. | |
