MUD Mired in time...

SENSORY LOSS masquerades as motor problems:

Beware of this!!! When both heels stay planted at same time – both feet flat to ground – and no 'wheel' transfer of momentum side to other side – we have a trust problem.

This is the back-knee (recurvatum) in tension as the patient lacks the SENSORY assurance that the receiving leg is ready to support. This indicates sensory deficiency. Not a surgical target. Sensory deficiency is lack of detection OR the inability to apply what is perceived to the task. Walking involves KNOWING & expectation (such as how the ground will behave when loaded). Conditions that foul the sensory contribution of what is or the expectation of what will happen on loading (ankle foot varus) cripple gait far out of proportion to the mechanical incapability. Driving a Porsche stuck in reverse [doable] vs Drive any car with the windows all covered with metal foil [nooooooo].
