    Brilliant demonstration as trying to decipher from journal articles can be sometimes difficult, especially when looking for intrinsic movement dysfunctions.👍

    Interesting examples and tests. I've noticed a lot of balancing issues come from having weak or unbalanced hips, deep core muscle weakness and foot and calf muscle weakness. It's good to have strong mind/body connections and strengthen these muscles along with any others that might be of concern for excellent balance. I have collapsed arches myself in both of my feet and I believe strengthening my calf muscles and foot and ankle will do the trick along with the others I mentioned as well.

    I did these for the first time while in PT. I had 80% of my posterior horn removed and have a partial ACL tear that was not addressed. I’m 9 weeks out from surgery and find this exercise very very hard to do. I trust and pray that doing this exercise will help me and not damage the knee.

    • @Physiotutors
      @Physiotutors  Před 4 lety +1

      Standing on one leg will certainly not damage your knee. We'd advise you to seek a good local physio who can help with a tailor-made rehab program!

    Love your videos. They are concise. One suggestion - eliminate the sudden loud obnoxious sound at the intro of the videos - they serve no truly necessary useful purpose, are a sudden unpleasantly intrusive loud noise and waste time.

    I have a question.. why if the foot is searching for stability (2:09) might indicate in the stance leg gluteus maximum inhibition?

  • @brendalg4
    @brendalg4 Před 3 lety +1

    When talking about the Trendelenburg sign what do you say after you mention the gluteus medius? I noticed that I drop my shoulder or stick out my hip to balance. My foot also moves a lot. The knee of the weaker leg turns in unless I point my toe out. My pelvis also feels unstable. I have a hard time getting up from a squatting position

    Good to see that a typical person was chosen as the participant for this assessment. So often a physically very fit individual who's obviously spent years in the gym is chosen other than the target types - unfit and old people with possible problems.

    I can't do 10 reps of pistol squat (squat on 1 leg) in proper form, but balance on on leg is quite hard, especially when i close both 2 eyes. After trying to engage my core i can do it with ease. The question is that if i'm cheating if i engage my core.

    This is great, very detailed. Thank you for making this accessible.
    Are you a PT? Physiatrist?
    On a side note, an option that has helped me put on shoes (outside of assessment) is to 1.engage core, 2. rest my back or lay arm against the wall if needed, 3 lift my leg so that it makes a figure 4. This way, I can I minimize back flexion. An OT taught me
    If you don’t mind, what kind of exercise & diet routines do you follow? Do you have a favorite full range of core exercise?

  • @JohnJones-fh2uy
    @JohnJones-fh2uy Před 2 lety +1

    Great information here, thank you. I don't know, but I'm going to guess that you participated in the Brazilian research study that only recently determined that If a person can’t stand on one leg for 10 seconds, then they are twice as likely to die within 10 years. As a 76-year old who suffers arthritis-related and many other pains, I've also seen my flexibility and balance deteriorate over the past decade or so. I've suffered several falls in my own home and now ... learning about this recent study ... I'm thinking that my demise is just around the corner.

    nooo! You didn't adress whats wrong if you'r stance leg automatically rotates outward(My problem is that when I stand on my right leg my upper body automatically rotates to the left(leg to the right))
    Ive been looking so long for the answer of wich musles I have to stretch/strengthen in my case. Does anyone know what I have to do?

    • @Physiotutors
      @Physiotutors  Před 5 lety

      If this is a problem is questionnable as everyone is different and asymmetrical.
      What it sounds like is that you might want to exercise your external rotators of the right hip a bit.

  • @emanuele6262
    @emanuele6262 Před 5 lety +4

    This is a very good assessment to identify imbalances! I've found that when I stand on left leg with foot pointing straight my torso and pelvis rotates to the right. My left foot is actually outward rotated the most of the time also when I walk. Which muscle should I strength to align it forward and stabilize my torso and pelvis while standing on one leg?

      There are better suited tests (not sure about validity in this postulation) such as Berg Balance Scale or the Tinetti Test

    When I do this my foot is constantly moving trying to find stability. I've sprained my ankles a lot in the past could this be why? Idk how to do this without shaking or moving?

    • @Physiotutors
      @Physiotutors  Před 6 lety

      Yes, your sprained ankle could be a reason and in your case it might be due to reduced passive (ligamentous) instability and reduced functional (muscles) stability. Doing exercises like single-leg stance will likely benefit you!

    • @lelandmacdonald3443
      @lelandmacdonald3443 Před 6 lety

      I've sprained both ankles at least 2-3 times but never treated them with taping, ice , etc. Seems like the only way I can find any stability is by digging my big toe into the ground, is this okay to do? Just seems like I've done this exercise alot but still shaking. Maybe I need surgery?

    • @Physiotutors
      @Physiotutors  Před 6 lety +3

      We'd recommend you to see a local physio or GP to evaluate your individual situation.
      They can judge if you'd benefit from exercise or even surgery.
