MUD Mired in time...

Again, an athlete whose gait was dampened by applied elastics has shortened stride length and a mild crouch and is toe walking. Toe walking??? To get a tall wheel and use the shortened arc the wheel center must be centered below the arc otherwise it becomes a CAM (a 'lifter') which has its own nasty energy and wear & tear consequences.

A HARP line shows that her knee flexion is unchanged through all of stance phase. The wheels lock and form a very large wheel turns on the forefoot pivot of the ankle in equinus. So, now we find that we need to distinguish pathological equinus from functional equinus. More mud. Groan. Hey. This is medicine. You want easy? Go be a rocket scientist.
