A deep dive case study. Plus, Central and Peripheral fatigue explained. Shawn and Ivo discuss many aspects from top to bottom in a case study presentation. At the end Ivo explains the difference between peripheral and central fatigue mechanisms. It is something that is often overlooked, poorly understood, and for many, a ghost topic. If you do not know something exists, how will you know to look for it or consider it ?

We dive into many things today, from how soon strength building occurs, biomechanics of hallux amputation, tendonitis, loading responses, bursitis, gait, running, shoe fit, isotonics and conceptual ideas that will help you with your clients and their problems.

STEM &PRP therapies for athletes plus discussions on types of muscle contraction, and what exactly happens when we "activate" a muscle. We are all over the board today folks, topics like PRP but more so we go down some paths that are more fundamentally clinical and neurologic with a sprinkling of orthopedics to round things out. Sometimes these are our best shows.

1. Running with the extensors. Convergence and divergence of neurons. 2. fighting your gait neurology. The lies about the Bird dog rehab exercise. 3. ACL and ACL rehab. Surgery or no sugery. Wise? Risks ? 4. Cross over gait and lateral heel strike and ensuing problems at great toe off. A failure to medial foot tripod high gear toe off ? 5. Are the hip flexors actually hip flexors in gait ? what are your high knee drills doing? Anything good?

This podcast (136) which is a follow up podcast (to #135), as the intro explains, comes at the tail end of a series of thought debates. 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. Let the learning and dialogues continue.

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.

We hit some good topics today, from childhood torsional issues, fix or leave alone ? 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.

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.
