The Gait Guys Podcast

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.

This podcast (135) and its soon to launch follow up podcast (136), 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 and then more forward into our dialogue.  We hope you find this a productive thought experiment.

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.

Knowing the anatomy of your rear foot and its anatomic and functional posturing can lead to many problems in anyone. If you do not know the rearfoot type and posturing, you will not understand the rest of the foot mechanics. Without this knowledge, you will not know the reason for midfoot or forefoot problems, not understand what shoe you are in, or even why the shoe, footbed, orthotic you have chosen is either not fixing your problems, or causing them.  Join us on a journey down the rearfoot rabbit hole over the next hour.  Plus a few funny stories to lighten the biomechanics-heavy dialogue.
