ROM Resist & New Zealand

Ooooo, the horror of it all! Short stride length. It causes this! Right? Have you been asleep? Short stride length is a CHOICE, a solution, to keep going by using yet another way to reduce energy loss. We saw in the early elastic trial levels (1 through 3) that initially the only 'abnormality' was crouch. It was enough to remove the elastic tension and that is then it is just a shorter person walking normally [chart has increased

flexion baseline as only abnormality – here at 14 degrees]. Normal is close to zero. But as the elastics get ‘worse’ the dampening can't be dodged anymore. A ' plan B ' emerges.
