They also present with hip dysfunction and whether this is secondary to the initial ankle/foot injury or later shoulder injury I'm not sure. I figure their ability to transfer of loads in diagonal planes is compromised regardless and may lead to the development of hip/knee/low back injury. Perhaps the athlete in the pic with his medial foot border raising off the ground may also have decreased ankle stability combined with his inability to IR the hip - great exercise from hand to foot all the way!!<br /><br />GCUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16021410250820210425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618639792837880710.post-72221714164442125662010-04-02T11:25:30.947-04:002010-04-02T11:25:30.947-04:00JH- Good observation, the foot position is deliber...JH- Good observation, the foot position is deliberate. Had I closed his foot I would have used up all the IR, making the mobilization impossible.<br /><br />WR- Very good question, because sitting & prone it was normal. In a left stride stance BUE shoulder height L rotation I noticed I couldn't see the back of his R shoulder. Naturally I thought it was a Tspine issue until I looked down at his L foot and saw the medial border was lifting off the ground. Put him back on the table supine & got the idea of horizontally adducting the leg with the IR. It immediately locked up. So, I've added in some on table FMR syncing the L hip & shoulder (have to get a pic up). Kind of strange, he explained to me he is a switch hitter who began batting R. As time went on, he said he felt much more natural batting lefty and describes that as his dominant side now.Joe Przytulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872659808449420318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618639792837880710.post-46676049188126005832010-04-01T18:50:35.903-04:002010-04-01T18:50:35.903-04:00Joe -

Thanks for addressing that.<br /><br />I am curious how you assessed his hip internal rotation deficit. Did you test sitting and prone first and then assess functionally or did you simply look at his swing and see a deficit there first?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10436738908791948216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618639792837880710.post-33662939406898372252010-04-01T16:57:16.896-04:002010-04-01T16:57:16.896-04:00Does he normally open his front foot like that whe...Does he normally open his front foot like that when hitting?JHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644525315506312319noreply@blogger.com
