Good morning. Happy Tuesday. I have neuro coffee in hand and it is perfect. All right. We have a very busy Tuesday coming up. We're going to dig straight into today's Q&A. This is with Taya. Taya was working with a client on some supine activities, was having a lot of difficulty capturing some muscle behavior at the hip and pelvis area. And one of the things we always want to remember is that we have movement that occurs from proximal to distal and distal to proximal. So if we're talking about an early propulsive representation, I'm just going to grab a foot here. We grab our foot, and one of the key elements here is capturing the first metatarsal head and a medial heel contact because this would indicate our first superimposition of internal rotation on the external rotation space. This is where one of those keys we went with in TEA to assure that those cues were intact. If you don't get those cues, it doesn't mean you're not going to recruit those muscles, but you're not going to deal with relative motion, and that's what we're trying to chase under these circumstances. We'll see elements of this in some shoe literature where we see that foot behavior really doesn't change all that much depending on what type of shoe you're wearing. However, the proximal musculature does change its behavior relative to the sensation we're getting from the ground up. So again, the early propulsive phase becomes very important. Under these circumstances, again, the first superimposition of internal rotation on the external rotation, which is our relative movement. Thank you for asking this question. You're going to help a lot of people with this. If you would like to participate in a 15-minute consultation, please go to Ask Bill Hartman at gmail.com. Please put '15-minute consultation' in the subject line so I don't delete it. Include your question in the email if you would please. We will arrange that at our mutual convenience. Everybody have an outstanding Tuesday and I will see you tomorrow.
