Such an amazing explanation and argument for wrapping the bands around the feet. Thank you 🙏🏼

When thinking about helping prevent valgus, the band around the ankles is great for cuing the tibial muscles that assist with supination as well as gripping through the foot intrinsics. I notice that when the band is wrapped around the PIP/DIPs, the band will slide back towards the ankle, leading to more satoris and rectus femoris engagement. You will get peroneal engagement instead of Hal Long, Flex Dig, and Post Tib. This is why I prefer the band to be looped around the lower tibia, above the ankles…you get more out the exercise for hip abduction this way.

How many monster walks and squats would you recommend for weak glute medius and piriformis?

@rehab-umovementperformance 2 ай бұрын

@@freeslavemind Depends on the rest of the program and whether you have lateral hip pain, etc. but they definitely go in as a peripheral activation exercise - I'd suggest something like 2 to 3 sets focused recruitment and mind-muscle connection 😊

It also eliminates the discomfort of the band rolling up and pulling on leg hair

Hahaha definitely does! You would know that better than I would ;)

I find putting one just below the patella(at patella tendon) AND one at ankles or feet is great. the band at the patella tendon area brings in an IR force thus ER required to resist it. try it there, if it is above the knee I agree it does not do as good a job but feet and below patella really gets the ER torque going.

@@terrancemckeon8696 100% agree that ER torque is great. Regarding the bands some of the studies showed that the TFL is sollicited with bands at the knees and feet so 1) if the glute med is what we are trying to target, feet is better and 2) the band at the feet helps target hip abduction, which is an important deficit in knee issue + brings focus to foot stability (another important aspect). Again, I'm not saying bands placed otherwise is always "wrong", just that there are other potential areas to consider based on what exactly we want to target :)

Why must not the tbs take over? If someone has tight it band can they do the monster walk? Should we stand straight or bend forward while doing this?

@rehab-umovementperformance 11 ай бұрын

We want the glute med to be the main stabilizer of the pelvis in the frontal plane. Placing the band at the feet ensures the TFL doesn't take over ;)

It makes much sense 😅

What about wrap the band around the thighs, not on d knees? Look forward to hear from you… thank you

@rehab-umovementperformance Жыл бұрын

Good question! The effects would potentially be similar to having it around the knees. What some studies have shown is that if we want to avoid the TFL taking over, placing the band around the feet is the better option ;) Hope that helps!
