Dear all
I've just been reading some of the postings from a couple of months ago
re. the ability (or not) of the ankle plantar flexors in reducing the
velocity of the COM. (Makes sense.)
However the question I have is
'is this the prime mechaninism available to the body to acheive this or if
an absence is seen in the normal mechanism, can hip, spine and truck
musculuture compensate in any way?'
Looking at muscle balance around the pelvis, it seems that a possible
alternative approach may be re-training of these muscles.
Any comments would be helpfull? (I beleive this would be a valuable
approach in the diabetic patient as an adjunct to our normal treatments.
Phil
