Pod 136: Part 2: Head over Foot? Where should we put our COM (center of mass)? May 13, 2018

Show notes

This podcast (#136) which is an obvious Part 2 follow up podcast to #135, as the intro explains, comes at the tail end of a series of thought debates between Shawn and Ivo with some folks who have a different view point. While the debate is unsettled because there is not sufficient research to support one side, we feel the research leans towards our side of things. However, as the debates went on, it became clear to use that both parties were approaching the debate from a different metric to gauge the beliefs outcomes. We outline this in the introduction to podcast #135 and then move further forward into our dialogue. We hope you find this a productive thought experiment.

What to look for when first observing and examining your client's gait plus Balance and vestibular function in gait and bike riding, exercise and neurodegenerative disorders and diseases and even developing proper neuromotor patterns, and inhibiting improper ones. Plus we hit a favorite topic, the cross over gait and Ivo hits some highlights on gating inhibitory pathways.

Pod 133: Two Gait Cases & their Gait Rehab Jan 24, 2018

Show notes

Today we discuss a few cases we have seen. We discuss 2 cases, both involved poorly adapted gaits from injury, adaptations that had become the client's new norm. Once you get past Ivo's case presentation, which is very in depth, the discussions quickly go into very important topics that we all over look, namely gait and gait rehab, gait thresholds, metabolic thresholds, cortical fatigue, and how to use some neurologic principles to restore a problematic gait.

Key Tag words: gait, concussion, head trauma, cortical fatigue, endurance, strength, gait analysis, gait problems, gait rehab, running, running injuries, run-walk, SCFE, slipped epiphysis, femoral growth plate, hip stress fractures, growth plate injury, hip dysplasia, limping gait, club foot, step length, stride length

Arm swing: Do you remember what Anti-phasic gait is ? If not, this study might not mean much to you. But we have written gobs about it on our blog over the years.

This study looked at "how arm swing could influence the lumbar spine and hip joint forces and motions during walking."

But, we have more to say on this, so, see you on the blog here . . . https://www.thegaitguys.com/thedailyblog/2017/10/16/arm-swing-and-dynamic-stability-of-the-system
