Functional Leg Length Difference Linked to Gravity Drive Pronation

Discussion in 'Biomechanics, Sports and Foot orthoses' started by Brian A. Rothbart, Nov 27, 2019.

    I respectfully disagree with you.

    I have spent 20 years, involved with pressure gradient studies. I have compared those readings with video studies taken from the same patient, at the same time. The correlations were very compelling. How the foot functions closely parallel muscle strength/weakness patterns.

    Again, this discussion is not relevant to this thread. I would be most pleased to go into a more thorough discussion on this subject. Start another thread, entitled Pressure Gradient Studies compared to Foot Kinetics

    Proof of strengthening -

    1 measure strength
    2 intervention
    3 measure strength again
    4 compare strength before and after intervention

    Everything else is just fluff .

    Fluff, no.

    Points 1-4, adds more evidence to studies already done. However, it is not my intent to change your viewpoint.

    I think this is a good point to end this discussion.

    As a means of showing muscles strengthening this is fluff.
