Yeah. Okay.

I would agree with that.

Cool. The wave one's quite interesting. I think that video in slow-mo with the wave is a good illustration of some of the stuff you actually talk about. So do you want to start with that or do you want to start with something else?

Yeah.

The spinal level is usually about two levels lower than the anterior rib attachment.

You're on the right track. OK. They're forward on the right. So where do you want to put it?

Relative to, so if the joint changes, if the joint, so there's one position, there's two.

You have a reputation for eating on these calls.

So it may be that you have a biased population. This is one of the questions that comes up a lot because, you know, if I'm going to pick on you just for a second, Jen. Like if in Jen's world, she thinks everybody's a baseball player. You know why? That's all she sees as a baseball player. That's not all she sees, but she sees so many of them, right? That would be a bias, right? And so you just got to be careful with that because the day that you think that everybody's the same is the day that you just hit a brick wall and you go, but it worked yesterday. You can't go there. Everybody's going to be moving forward. So from a biomechanical perspective, every compensatory adaptation that we produce will shift this intergravity forward. And then it becomes like defending, right? It's like, I have to control my center of gravity. There's certainly internal force bias that everybody has to manage to varying degrees, right? And so archetype is gonna affect that strategy. And so again, it's like, if you've got a biased population, then you're gonna see a lot of the same stuff over and over again. But I challenge you to not fall into the trap of saying that everybody's the same.

Away from midline.

So, if I, the lumbar spine is the pressure posterior anterior.

See it?

I hope so.

It's going to prolong the application of the IR force. That's what you want. So you're holding the weight in a left rack, okay?

Yes.

Good morning. Happy Wednesday. I have NeuroCoffee in hand and it is perfect. All right. Today is Wednesday. That means tomorrow morning, 6 a.m., Coffee and Coaches Conference call as usual. I think we're going to call it 110 for those of you keeping score at home. So please join us. Great people, great Q&A. Get yourself a cup of coffee. Great way to start your day. Get a little education while you sit back and relax and sip on your coffee, which brings us to a little bit of a housekeeping item. I'm going to sound a little bit like a commercial, so you can fast forward through this part if you want to. However, I don't recommend that. So our makers of NeuroCoffee are rebranding. It's going to now be under Substance Nutrition because we have a new official unofficial sponsor in the midst and that is Synthesis from Substance Nutrition. Best protein on the market. My man, Dr. Mike Roussell, is the formulator of this as he was with NeuroCoffee. Things are going to get big and amazing. There's more stuff coming down the pike I'm pretty excited about. But anyway, just wanted to give Mike a shout out on that. This stuff is awesome. I suggest you buy some. If you go to getneurocoffee.com, you'll see that they're making the transition to Substance and you can get your protein there along with your NeuroCoffee. Okay. That aside, let's go into today's Q&A. This is a cool one. This is a twofer. So I had two questions that came up on the last Coffee and Coaches conference call in regards to walking. And so Taya's question yesterday was in regards to lower extremity going through the phases of propulsion, and Alex's question was a similar question in that he wanted to go through the behavior of the pelvic outlet as we're walking. So we broke that down. He did an awesome job. In fact, he did such an awesome job. I think I said awesome about 25 times as he's going through it. Then Christian asked a question. He is a patient that has had a stroke and has a disturbed gait because of that. But we broke this down because what I want you to understand is that the phases of propulsion hold on principle if you are walking. So even if you have deficits in pressure management, access to relative motions, you will still demonstrate each phase of propulsion. So these are principle-based behaviors. And so we break that down. So even if you don't work with stroke patients, the thing that you want to take away from this is, and listen as we go through this, is that everything that we would talk about, whether we're talking about the yield representation where we have the yielding action and the connective tissues, that has to take place. We have to have the downward force production and internal rotation.

Okay. So when I put the contralateral load on, the center of gravity has to go back into the right because that's where I'm going to land first. Do you want to take over the call? Because I think you pretty much got it.

Yeah. And so whenever you get one of those magnified measures, they still have segmental motion in the spine that is substituting for the hip range.

Correct. Okay. So you would want to have access to enough, like the requirement for that activity would be to have enough internal external rotation to go on the ground and then start superimposing. So me with my knee propped up here, this is where we can probably guess that I'm orienting somewhere else.

Yeah, so the loss of right hip internal rotation means that your center of gravity is forward on that right side. So the first thing you got to do is you got to bring yourself, as we would say, back on the right. So you have to capture the medial foot cues on the right side. But again, the starting position is going to depend on what you can capture. So for instance, if you try to bring your, if you try to do the right foot back stagger like right away, you may not have enough hip position to allow that to happen. So Cameron just answered the question and said, did you ever see that? That was awesome. Cameron, this is why I love having you on these calls, man. It's like, I see the wheels turn. So Michelle, you might have to start like this to get first met head, medial heel, so you can feel it and then you just slowly bring it back like this. And then when you get to here, that's where you're gonna actually have the internal rotation in your hip again. Okay. So you've got to start in a position where you're going to be successful. What this may look like, Michelle, is you're going to do a staggered stance, right foot forward, chop from left to right heel. Okay. That might give you enough internal rotation to start moving your foot back. You could do a box squat and that same stagger to start. But the idea is like we want to get you into a left foot forward, right foot back, staggered stance.

Maybe. Think about this for a second. Think about this for a second. You give him like a front foot elevated split squat. Yeah. First, first. Okay. And then take him back to the squat and see what happens. Okay. Now, now you might have given him enough relative motion that when you do put him under load, you don't see the, you don't see the same strategy or you don't see it to the degree that you did before.

Yeah, I think something that obviously makes a lot of sense. It's for whatever reason not something I realized until recently, and probably part of the reason why I've struggled with a couple of things, but I've been playing around with it more and it obviously helped. Yeah. My question, another question is why specifically does it limit it? I mean, so obviously it affects your ability to change the center of mass. I would assume it affects like variable muscle tension and other way that makes it hard to change your position. I'm also wondering if there's some sort of like fluid flow change that it does not allow. You want me to try and keep going? I would imagine it affects appropriately.

Yeah.

It's not like a, is it a spud strap?

I was going to say, I can believe you can move like that.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay. So then if a more extended representation of the elbow, that later representation, that's why elbow flexion is your ability to capture an earlier representation of the elbow. It's like you got a, if I get a bunch of principal or something.

Right.

Yes, brilliant. I'm stealing this. It's going to be number eight. Predictability. I love it. And you were all here to see it. Way to go, Alec. Yes. Thank you.
