Yeah.

I don't think I'm clear on when you're saying moving back into that position.

I do know that. So you have this like base of support, right? And the way narrow DDA is like you will go forward on the left first and then they will move over to the right. So like they end up with, for example, they're like lower left corner, superimposed like at end game, like kind of over the right. And they do that by kind of like going up and then to the side where they go down, hang on, down and forward on the left.

Well, that's okay. So again, process is great. So you understand the principle. So the principle is to create the delay strategy on the left side relative to the right side. The problem you may run into is this: let's take the difference between those two push-ups. You've got a left foot on the ground, right foot up, which will turn the sacrum. It's a late representation on the left side, early representation on the right side. Or late representation on the right side, early representation on the left side, relatively speaking. Same thing in the upper extremity, but through the elevation. Awesome. So we love that because that fits the desired outcome. Let's do what you just did. So we're going to elevate the left hand just like we did before.

So I understand how they're both applying a weight positioning on the right side. My question is: we want the entire axial skeleton to turn in one direction when we perform movements, but why doesn't that positioning coincide with a normal crawling pattern? Maybe that's my misconception, because to me this mobilization involves the right leg and the right arm stepping forward simultaneously, which I don't think is how crawling actually works.

Yeah. I just wanted to ask also because when I tried to do a split squat with him, a step up, sorry. The thing is that it looks really good, but I see that still the pinkie toe wants to get off the floor. So would it help also to manipulate the foot like in one of your videos when you try to capture internal rotation?

So does that need to be a complete shift in activity? Or could I potentially, let's say he's displaying the ER compensation. Could I just put a pillow between his knees to put him in an ER position to do it? I guess that's not, I was almost just trying to think like decrease, allow him to relax in whatever space he had and then gradually take that away. But that probably is not the best idea.

And yes, great. This is very helpful. If you could please put that up on YouTube, that would be great because I will listen to this many more times because I think I'm going to start just drawing like pelvises and feet to kind of get familiar with that sequence. And then when we want to reverse engineer it, in turn.

Yeah. Let me finish. If I go into ulnar deviation and break the opposition and it can't go any farther, then I know that APL is eccentrically oriented. The only way that could be eccentrically oriented is if my hand is pronated relative to the radius. So it's turned farther already. So there's no more excursion for it to go. Because APL is no longer limiting that movement. So it's eccentrically oriented. That means the hand is twisted farther into pronation than the distal radius is. So your pistol, your pistol tests here, your Apley test tests the hand relative to here.

Okay. So we're talking about tensegrity here is that there's always tension through the system. And it's the minute I take up slack anywhere or produce a higher tension, something else has to move in response to it. And that, like I said, that's kind of what we're talking about here. And then as you release those, if you release those, everything will snap back to its initial conditions. It's just like, if I take my skin on the back of my hand and I pull it up like that, you can see it stretch, right? And I let it go. And it kind of goes back to where it was. And when you get really old like me, it's a little bit slower than when you were 25. But point being is like it does go back into its original shape. But that's because of all of the tension through the system at the same time everywhere is connected to everything else.

What's a cane for?

Okay. But the really thick sole shoes are the only way you're going to be able to substitute for toe ranges of motion when you've got a rigid foot that is arthritic. So there's bony shape change and joint-related constraint changes. You've got to use mushy shoes because as they transfer their weight over the mushy shoe, the shoe is going to compress and expand. The shoe compresses and expands and substitutes for the joint range of motion. Now, you've got a double whammy. She's pushing into the ground, which means her tibia is going too fast. How do you slow a tibia down? How do you slow a tibia down from the ground up?

So that's what's creating the turn, the backswing.

Yeah, I just see that if someone has the right scapula winging or compressed thorax, let's say, but we are all turning to the right. Yeah. I just see that there's less space between the left scapula and the left thorax than the right. So, but I'm guessing that you're telling me the right side is still put forward and compressed.

Yes, that means that the OMAO state, this is the displacement of the OMAO stasis points. And then we get to make a judgment call if that point is moving towards a good or a bad direction, where let's say my response to training is I blew up my Achilles. It's a change in constraint. I would say it's not that good, but if I ended up having stiffer connective tissue in my knee, then for making a cut or a change of direction in a soccer game, it would be great.

There you go. Yeah. So you give her an early ER representation, right? So it's a short stagger. So we don't want to get too far away from middle P because we want downward force. But I stagger her a little bit here, right? She's catching the ball straight through the middle. And now I have the ER representation that you wanted, right? It's just like your right suitcase carry. Right? It's just like Taya's right foot forward split squat. You see? Got it. Got it. Got it. Yeah. So again, you're, so the exercises start to point, like the exercises teach you the best place to put things as long as you understand what your intention is. They call it neuro and ortho. It doesn't matter. It's human and human.

Exactly. So it's not a side bend. It's not a side bend.

I mean, one is causal, the other one's a result, right?

Uh, you'd be more in the middle.

Front rack requires more internal rotation than being behind the neck. So the end position would be the same, but if she's starting, she flares the right elbow out a little bit more. So it just seems like she's looking for external rotation to move from.

No, it's like, but think about it. It's like all his behaviors point to the fact that he is trying to put force into crap.

Yeah.

Okay. Keep going. So what's he trying to do?

I don't know how I could possibly follow that up. So my question is going to be in regards to core strengthening for low back pain.

Yeah.

All right, I have a couple of four-instance situations with the Supine Cross Connect, which I think we're kind of answered, or sort of given a little bit of clarity already from Matt's and Dick's questions. So, say if we have someone, all right, so I'll say if they're narrow ISA and they're on an oblique angle and they're really far into that space-time where they're pushed really far forward. So they present with like late P on both sides. Okay.

So if I ever jump off of a 12-inch box and I hear this big thud and I see her knees slam together as she's trying to land, would a better representation of that after doing some training, be a landing where it's a softer landing and the knees don't collapse towards each other? You see the difference? So now you're showing that she's actually learning how to manage the forces as she's landing. Her squat would potentially improve.

I'm actually not sure. I think that's probably my question.

I want to ask about myself. So I've had a left ACL injury like years ago, five plus years ago. I've had surgery, had a cadaver in it, and it's been pretty good, but I've always noticed that this left side is always lacking internal rotation, and I always find it lately I've been finding it hard to when I plantar flex my foot and then I try to supinate or evert, it's just restricted. I feel like I'm hitting a wall, and then where do I feel the restriction? Probably around the talus bone, and my lateral muscles like the peroneus muscles just feel really tight on my left side, that same ACL injured leg.

What's the difference?
