Re-purpose other inherent skills.

If momentum is irretrievably impossible, then, go 'concentric'. Rather than having muscles do the opposite of their names (flexors stabilize and limit ongoing extension, while extensors stabilize and limit ongoing flexion). Repurposed, flexors flex. Extensors extend. Concentric is energy-wise not as thrifty as eccentric. But, we all go concentric when we are going up steep stairs as momentum is thereby hard to come by. Take another look at that mild to moderate spastic diplegia kid and ask isn't what she is doing a lot like climbing stairs? Is that form we are seeing THE abnormality or a 'Plan B' repurposed for 'getting it done?' For most, we don't call it crouch gait. We call it 'stair climbing’ gait or 'concentric’ gait.
