Eye Training

The psoas starts the thigh into swing with enough energy to go on well after that oomph is put in. Stopping the two linked pendulums before they reach a natural pendulum end point does two important things. 1. It protects us from chaotic patterns. 2. The swing energy & momentum is transferred to the pelvis just as the stance leg needs a boost over its vertical pendulum (metronome-like) to rise past the top. But we may be presented with subtle

issues that are compensated into near invisibility. We don't walk with defects if possible; we avoid them. Our tricky dodges often get disease names. :-( This robust well muscled farm working fellow had a deep laceration to his left gastrocnemius some years ago. Also the fibularis tendons had to be repaired.

We have noted that the "wheel" transfer of load from one side to the other has (here) left toe to right heel (POINT to POINT) transfer, a solid indicator that sensation is OK and running this show. The wheel is there, but, mmmmmm... looks a little weak. So, sensory is OK, as the wheel reflects TRUST. Security in transition. Without sensation, things have to bang to confirm stablility before weight is shifted – at all. Here the transfer is just a bit low. Less trust (security) in

HANDLING the load. Once again we see expectation as a guide to walking form. We will look at a few more relationships in this (near recovery) walk. Note neck location just as right "step" happens.
