Aug 10, 2024

Lecture Notes

Key Points

  • Switching Foot Position: Focus on alternating which foot is in front.
  • Biasing Down Shin: When weight comes into the legs, there is an emphasis on pushing the down shin.
  • Biasing Up Shin: The up shin should either stay up or push back.
  • Yawing the Heels: Heels should be yawed inwards.
  • MTP Joint: Aim to direct weight into the Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint.

Important Details

  • The down shin experiences a downward push as weight is applied.
  • The up shin needs to counteract by staying up or pushing back.
  • Adjust the heels inward to maintain balance and proper weight distribution.
  • Ensure the weight is directed into the MTP joint for stability and support.
