Rare treat seeing someone teaching proper walking mechanics with great detail! Would be interested to hear your opinion of using your posterior chain to pull yourself forward creating acceleration.
@ToddMartinMD2 жыл бұрын
I believe the acceleration is related to the speed or rotation of the waist muscles of the core which trigger the action in the legs. During the loading response phase, the hamstrings pull the body forward as the forfeit lowers. If you watch my Martin Movement Lesson Playlist you can see my analysis of all the muscle coordination.

outstanding. the role of the toes is of paramount importance.

I walked with toe off for most of my life. I ended up with what turned out to be an unnecessary surgery on one of my big toes due to pain and to cartilage damage caused entirely by this faulty way of walking.

I recently was testing the toe off method. Yeah, definitely was feeling it the next day. Big toe and side hip was pretty sore.

Doctor we are pushing with toes when we are powe walking is it correct
@ToddMartinMD16 күн бұрын
You don't need to try and push with your toes regular or power walking. Focus on your core. The toes will move automatically if you are moving your core correctly. If you try and push with your toes, you will throw off your own timing.

Ok thanks for clarifying

out of curiosity: would it be possible to have one of your lessons about how to strengthen the hip flexors and the gluteus medius? thank you very much for all your wonderfull and informative work!
@ToddMartinMD2 жыл бұрын
Great suggestion! I don't normally do strengthening videos, but I think I have a unique angle on your request.
@lucagian98012 жыл бұрын
I understand, but seen all your emphasis (and rightly so) on the torsional forces involved in the walking, the strength of the hip flexors and hip stabilizers becomes quite important.

So use the muscles from the front of the leg (leading leg) to roll through the foot and bring the body forward. Roll just roll, I have a bad habit of stomping my feet like I'm walking the place, my knee extends way too far from the body
@ToddMartinMD2 жыл бұрын
Your knee in front or your knee behind extends too far from the body?

@ToddMartinMD2 жыл бұрын
The two most likely causes, without seeing you walk, would be that you are leaning forward or you are overstriding. I would check out my videos on each of those topics to see if one fits your situation.

@@ToddMartinMD Hi Dr , I used to walk for 6000 steps per day . Last year Because of my injury I got weak and reduce to 5000 steps, Then I decided after each 1000 steps get rest. I can’t walk properly . I watched most of your videos but yesterday I hurt my right foot heal . Again today I watched your videos many times , I do my best to follow your instructions. Today I walked by flexing heals a little up as you directed . Today my walking was better than yesterday. I still am confused about heap ,abdominal and upper body movement.
