5- EMAIL FROM A Blog follower:
Hi Gait Guys,
First of all I really enjoy reading your posts and watching the
Youtube clips. They have really helped me in my work.I have a small
question for you if you don't mind me asking. I've noticed on
a number of running gait assessments that when viewing from the
back the whole foot moves medially whilst the forefoot rotates
outwards in some individuals. The knee also moves out to and looks
like the hip is externally rotating.I presume this is not normal (i
may be wrong) as the leg needs to recover in a straight line.My
question is why does this happen and if it's not normal how do you
correct it? (We will put this video up on our blog the week of
October 15 please watch for it. We will reference podcast #12 to
identify the blog post.)
Kind regards, DAVID
6- Reader Email:
I am a 57 year old runner turned triathlete with a long
history of soft tissue running injuries. I read your blog
with avid interest for this reason. . It sometimes
seems that most of the information is weighted more heavily toward
the diagnostician rather than the athlete. That is, more
analysis than corrective measures. I keep reading of problems
and saying "by gosh I've got that too" and then I am disappointed
that the last chapter (what to do about it) is missing and I am
left in suspense. Ideally I would fly to where ever you are
and spend some time getting analyzed and diagnosed and then begin
treatment. In the mean time, I was wondering if your could
put together a set of maintenance exercises that every runner
should do on a regular basis to keep us aligned and running well.
It seems that then, if I found a particular set of exercises
difficult, then I would need to focus on those either for
stretching and/or strengthening. The hips, ankles, core, and
feet seem to be the source of a lot of problems.
If you are ever in Washington state, let me know!- Sharon

13- From a blog
reader:
jdawg70 asked us a questions on our tumblr blog page
I think I have external tibial torsion on the right with a
dropped arch on that foot and front of hip and groin pain on the
left leg. I have had standing x-rays of my pelvis from the
chiropractor showing a difference in hip heights of 9mm from left
to right, that is, the left being that much higher. I do have lots
of pain and digestive problems. I was hoping you could help or
advise me. I highly value your opinions
14- From one of
our Blog readers who contacted us through the
blog:
My name is Maury. Two years ago I noticed my left foot
turning out all the time -walking, standing, exercising, etc. I
also had hip pain. Eventually we discovered a labral tear and a
torn ligamentum teres in the left hip. I had the repair done
arthroscopically February 1st, 2012. It is now August and I am
still experiencing the hip/foot turned out. My
rotation/mobility/flexibility is fairly equal on both sides. My
strength is good. I am at a loss. What can I do about this? Thank
you.
15- From another
blog reader:
from Sherryb1 on the blog
I think there is a correlation between adducted
toes--especially adducted and flexed ip joint toes and abdominal
strength/weakness. When balance is difficult, you can usually spot
the adducted and flexed IP toes. When you watch someone walking
with a little balance inefficiency, often you will find adducted
and flexed IP toes. Do you see it as the chicken or the egg?
Belly/toes, or toes/belly. And have you seen this and, might you
have seen anything in the literature to substantiate it? Thank you
