What is the Gait Cycle? How do we link it from the foot to the shoulder?

[@suehitzmann6141]

John, I thought this was a fantastic explanation of not only the gait cycle but the sling systems and how it works. Really fantastic.

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks Sue for the lovely comments, regards JG

[@dr.s.p.]

Superb explanation and when dealing with body mechanics must be fully understood to be able to achieve any hope of helping a patient who has modified their gait by simple compensation that gradually, but dramatically, alters everything else over time. Anyone studying the ‘fascial trains’ beautifully explained by Tom Myers would also very much appreciate your explanation here and once fully absorbed, there’s no end to picturing how the whole body is affected by any movement at all.

Thanks John, hoping to attend on of your live classes anythime soon. You are such an inspiration

Very much thanks to you Mr.Gibbons, I'm PT and have hard time to understand biomechanics on pelvis, sacrum and lumbal movements while on walking and this is be like cure to me for understanding mechanism

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks for the comments and hopefully I made it easier to understand, regards jG

[@hirazafar]

Ah! This can really help in getting lots of ideas for further researches on the subject focusing Gait Pattern. Beautifully explained and elaborated.

Great video I’ve watched numerous times. They compensated pattern was interesting. Would love to see a video on the gait cycle compensated and be that leads to facet locking. For example, I’d stuck in a left on left, what happens up the chain to compensate. Thanks!

Wow Great video John. Is it therefore possible to perform a strength training movement in these sling patterns to help maintain gait & running mechanics?

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks and I do have videos on training the slings - exercises like the 'push' and 'pull' - just search for them, regards JG

[@Drehbohne]

So are you also teaching More Information in your paid classes about how to tell and predict which part of the roatations are out of Order and how to fix them? Iam doing a tranieeship as an physiotherapyst in Germany and iam interested in doing your masterclass!

[@ahmedessam6533]

how you could get this tranieship ?

[@Drehbohne]

@@ahmedessam6533 in Germany we generally have tranieeships for different Jobs. Its more focused on the practial part in difference to university and you also get paid.

Its taken from a few courses and also my books so plenty of information there, regards jg

[@Sahil_Lath]

Thank You for everything! Can you do youtube live someday so that we can clarify some of our doubts! So say I am performing a Gillet's/Stork Test. I ask the patient to raise the right Leg up. Now as per what I understood the Innominate on the right side should rotate posteriorly ( so the thumb on PSIS moves down ), the sacrum (nutates) rotates left-on-left, the Lumbar vertebrae rotate right to compensate Sacrum's Left rotation, along with it there is side bending of vertebrae to Left as per Type 1 mechanism. Kindly correct me if I am wrong.

[@JohnGibbons]

With the stork test - I wouldn't worry about the sacrum for this test as you are looking for motion of the innominate to travel medially and inferiorly, regards JG

[@cheftate1]

Care to mention "the text" you referenced twice at the beginning of this?? Tnx.

[@JohnGibbons]

The text is from my books - look on Amazon or my website, regards JG

[@mariussocaci9554]

can you describe please in the same way the backward torsion of the pelvis L x R and R x L? thanks!

I do in other videos from my site, regards jG

[@sagar9060]

When there is limp... how can we know that it's gait issue or because of lower limb length discrepancy? Thank you!

[@robertmclean2812]

I feel I have a good understanding of how the pelvis works but your description is confusing and sounds incorrectly so I'm assuming I misunderstood. Is there a way to discuss?

[@JohnGibbons]

You can book a zoom call with me through my website, regards JG

[@denniperez8028]

Hello Mr Gibbons. I’m a right handed male who starts to walk with his right foot first because I usually turn to the left or go straight. My right leg is my back leg, I get a lot of shoulder, back and sometimes knee pain when I walk for a long time. I’m trying to learn how to swing my arms from the beginning and alternatives for arm swing when I’m tired and still have to walk. Thanks

[@mogbob7336]

Check out Neal Hallinan’s vids on PRItrainer. I was stuck in the left anterior interior chain (left AIC) pattern…left quads were doing the work of my left hamstring when I walked. Very very common problem. The underlying theory for overcoming the issue is from Ron Hruska’s work. Françoise Mézières before that. Good luck.

i'd love to see a CGI video of normal walking hip movement . . . and how it differs over stride length

7:40-8:13 wouldn’t the adductors be the main stabilizer ?

Hi. Can you explain please. Im new to this and hope its not a stupid question. During heel strike what happens to the lower lumbar spine with regards to flexion/extension. You talk about how the sacrum relatively moves into nutation (which can cause lumbar extension) whilst the innominate moves posteriorly (which can cause lumbar flexion), does this action of the innominate/sacrum therefore help to keep the lower lumbar spine in neutral, so we can keep standing upright?

[@JohnGibbons]

Ideally a neutral (according from Fryette) position of the vertebral column is the fundamental basis of motion for everything as it follows the type 1 motion - almost like cogs in a wheel - cog one will rotate right, which drives cog two to rotate left and cog three to rotate the same way as cog one (right) and this is automatic (in one respect) - so the sacrum rotating right induces left rotation of the lumbar and right rotation of the thoracic - hope that helps, regards jG

[@s9t.peppers]

wait what, T. Anterior and P.Longus are physically connected?

[@JohnGibbons]

they are part of the posterior longitudinal sling, regards JG

Hi John … For 12 years I have my left leg rotation outwardly about 25%…. What muscles the massage therapist and PT. should manipulate starting from T12 down to the ankle to straighten the leg? And same years my right shoulder is higher than left……Names of the muscles that are pulling out and creating dysfunction? We all love John..
