    Greetings.
    I have an remote (read, off site) athlete who is having some left leg performance issues, not so much pain as a hard to pin down knee issue. Believes she can improve and wondering if orthotic intervention can be of assistance. Said I would pass on the video to Podiatry Arena for opinions. I will have an opportunity to see her in the future and can get some more specifics, in the meantime anyone care to comment on the videos?

    That look more like a proximal control issue that needs to be addressed further up.

    Very obvious large valgus vector on left side. check hip flexor strength with SLSq test and rehab accordingly

    Brendan,
    from the front, it would appear to me the left leg hyperextends and exteriorly roatates more than the right. Is that leg short?is the first significantly plantarflexed?

    Would try to do anything with the lateral toe off on the left foot,or just stick to the proximal stuff?Have to admit that the only athletes I see are on the telly,but just in case one takes a wrong turn and ends up at my door,would I be wrong to try and get them into high gear propulsion on the left side?Or am I just seeing things...

  6. agree and the arm swing needs a huge amount of work, it would be where I would start

    Improve Proximal control and the pendulums and the legs will usually follow
