So the left side is moving forward. There's a magnification of internal rotation. The spine is turned to the right. The internal rotation is trying to jam into the ground, but it's going in that direction. I'm going to take my hockey stick and swing it from right to left, which means I'll end up in a delay strategy on the left side. However, I don't have a delay strategy. Despite that, I'm going to push with my right side anyway to get there. What direction will I end up going?

E-centric overcoming.

Yeah.

Good morning. Happy Wednesday. I have neuro coffee in hand and it is perfect. All right. Today is Wednesday. That means tomorrow is Thursday, which means tomorrow at 6 a.m. we have the Coffee and Coaches Conference Call as usual. Please make yourself a cup of coffee and join us for some Q&A. This is worldwide. We have a very international group of folks that tends to show up on these calls. The group is getting bigger every week, which is exciting. People from all over the place. So again, please join us. Always a great time. Turning to today's Q&A, I think this is a question from Manuel. And this is actually the back end of a discussion on hook lying and how we need to set up this position to be effective in our interventions. And there's a lot of common errors that are associated with this position—people not capturing the appropriate foot cues, over exaggerations of foot cues, or the inability to capture internal rotation under these circumstances. The proximal orientation is a big deal. So we'll see a lot of people that are posterior-tilting the pelvis, which is the exact wrong thing to do under almost every circumstance. This is why you end up with an outcome that shows a lot of external rotation and no internal rotation. That's an overshoot of the pelvic position. What we're looking for is an ER (external rotation) representation that we can superimpose internal rotation on. And again, a lot of people are making some errors. So we talked through some really key elements of this setup and some of the common errors there. So I think this is going to be a useful question for a lot of people. Everybody have an outstanding Wednesday. I will see you tomorrow morning, 6 a.m. on the Coffee and Coaches conference call.

Good morning. Greetings. I have a couple of patients with negative five, negative 10 degrees hip internal rotation. I know you've been over this before and I know the ass gets turned, but I was hoping you could provide me a clearer image in my head of how exactly that's happening and whether or not there's any other associated significant bony twists I'd have to worry about.

Okay. Where they do the funny state, they do the step together, step together. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Okay. So. If I'm dragging the sled and I don't want to create interference with the step pattern, how am I going to coach Michelle to step as she initiates this?

Only dead guys have levers. Yeah, OK. Sorry, that's like a dad joke. So what constitutes a lever? So what do you have to have?

Well, I hope I didn't waste everyone's time.

What's facing the left? If your right foot's forward, it's left, right? Yeah. Okay. And then the yield will take place on the right side as she is landing on the right foot.

No, I guess, but I wasn't thinking about that. I was thinking more about, for the last six months, since I've been following you, I've been doing more light work, trying to get more relative motion, even in my sled poles, they're light relative.

Thank you. Okay. If you were laying on your side in a low oblique sit, that sucker is going to be on the ground, right?

Okay. So rather than open versus closed kinetic chain, look at where the force wave starts and goes to. So in the extension, it goes from the load on the knee towards the proximal part of the foot.

And like, what were they doing? Were they doing, were they just sitting there? Were they doing a press? Were they doing a pull? What were they, what were they doing?

Narrow, narrow, yeah.

Everybody uses the orange cones. So if you get somebody shaped like one of those orange cones, you can see the differential.

Yes, yes.

Crawl across the ground and you say, well wait a minute, I can tweak this. I can shift this a little bit more in one direction than the other. And I can make one side a little bit more late, a little bit more early, or I could literally just change the delay strategy without even changing the orientation. And I have a totally different representation.

Yeah, you're moving towards late.

Okay.

No. Close, but no cigar. You're in the ballpark.

Okay. Thank you.

So watch me. Here's your foot. See it's supinated? You get it? Here's how I'm going to get it down.

Say it. Say it. Ian's got it. Say it. Say it.

Yeah.

It's too bad.

Has he already used magnitude as a strategy?

Yeah, so his back leg was turned outward.

Good. Merry Christmas. Oh, Merry Christmas to you.

Hang on.

I love what you just said because that's been like the thorn in my side for three decades of trying to understand when people say, oh, you have an anterior pelvic tilt. And they go, and I go, wait a minute, are you talking about the pelvis as a whole? Are you talking about that? And then going forward, are you talking about that? And going forward, it's like, it's very unclear when people just throw out a ballpark term like that because it doesn't really add to the clarity of the problem. Because then if everybody has an anterior pelvic tilt, but I started from two potentially extreme representations, it's like, what all the stuff that went into that, right? It's like, it doesn't help me with the solution because my narrow is gonna be a little bit different than my wide, isn't it?
