7. From a Facebook follower:

Hello there, I’ve been following your stuff for a while now after searching far and wide for solutions to issues I have with my feet/ankles (and the fact I have an interest in what you guys do, I’m going to University in two weeks to study Sports Therapy).
Why I decided to message you now though is because …

7.  Bunions
 I am a fitness instructor, and teach mostly barefoot classes…Pilates, yoga, willPower & grace. One of my students came to me originally because she has had bunion surgery, and wanted to regain alignment and strength in her feet. She is doing well with her big toe, but due to compensations made for the bunion, she has this pronounced  protrusion of the lateral edge of the foot by her 5th toe and metatarsal.  It looks larger in person than it does in the photo and is painful for her.  What is the cause and are there specific exercises for her?
Thanks for any insight,

Effect of customized foot orthotics in addition to usual care for the management of chronic low back pain following work-related low back injury.

The findings showed that patients in this study with chronic, nonspecific low back pain following work-related low back injury had greater improvement in short-term outcomes with orthotics and UC than with UC alone.

Today’s show notes:

1. Neuroscience Piece:

http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2011/06/01/131050832/a-mystery-why-can-t-we-walk-straight

Today we have a neuroscience piece on “turning”, in a matter of speaking. So why, when blindfolded, can’t we walk straight?

These “Turning” field studies appear in Chris McManus’ book, Right Hand, Left Hand, The Origins of Asymmetry in Brains, Bodies, Atoms and Cultures (Phoenix, 2002). 

NPR Story Produced by Jessica Goldstein, Maggie Starbard.

3. Blog reader asks:
Any shoe recommendations for an uncompensated forefoot varus?

4. and another from the Blog:
Hi The Gait Guys, what can I do to regain medial tripod? I have a forefoot varus and when I am standing it compensates and my rearfoot everts and gets valgus. I have been having some pain lately and it is annoying me a lot. Please help. Thank you.

Foot loading patterns can be changed by deliberately walking with in-toeing or out-toeing gait modifications.

7. The Gait Guys are always talking about ankle rocker, dorsiflexion strength and the importance of the anterior compartment of the lower leg. Here is another study to add fuel to our fire.

Ankle dorsiflexor strength relates to the ability to restore balance during a backward support surface translation
