Thank you so much in teaching the correct techique of walking correctly. I wish I have found your videos many years ago. This could be an answer to my knee pain😊. Thanks again.
Hi Todd, I've watched a number of your videos and find them to be informative and helpful. Could you please explain what's happening and how to walk correctly in the cases of knocked knees (genu valgum) or bowed legs (genu varum). Would these be special cases that would prevent one from loading the knees and hips properly? thanks for your help.
If there is a significant anatomical deformity, it will change the nature of the movement and I can't say for sure what the compensation would be. Research shows that people who are bowlegged with arthritis in the knees have reduced pressure from walking duck footed. My goal is to catch people before the development of real structural changes because then it isn't possible for me to analyze the consequence to how the core movements will affect things.
I like this video :) needed! I have a lot of surprises immune and cancer and recently had a stress fracture non injury related . Then because of my auto immune I have moderate atrophy on my quad . The right knee is now bothering me. (That one isn’t stress fractured) I am stressed though and frustrated I am 53 and was always active . I need to walk and workout . Any tips ? I don’t think my strohied muscle is going to come back but want to adjust .
Keeping the muscles strong is essential to preserve your knees. Low impact exercises on land are most helpful. You can checkout my exercise playlist which has very low impact movements based on Tai Chi which can be helpful. Tai Chi is proven to be beneficial also. My exercises use the same principles without having to learn Tai Chi
@@ToddMartinMD I gone through all videos very nice, please could you share more core techniques about running and running or walking which is better to maintain fitness.
Hi Dr when i try changing wieght to the other leg. In loding résponse And After tuck thé pelvis and turn thé pelvis backward i lOse thé flexion of thé knee because thé knee folw thé pelvis plz explain to me that point
The knee should begin to flex the same instant you begin to tuck the pelvis. If you are walking correctly, it will always flex as soon as the heel touches the ground.
Please tell me which side of lower abs are active while standing on both foots with equally body weight distributed, because I think that both side of abs activation is the wrong technique for body posture it will be tilted our pelvic posterily. Please clear my dought
You are correct. I am going to post a video on this in a couple of days so you can see the details for standing posture. For now if you go to my most recent posture video you can see the explanation. That will be easier than writing the explanation.
I need to relearn walking because of a car accident. I have tpf and femoral nail in my right leg. Unfortunately the inside of my left leg near the knee is sore when I walk.
I want khnow in the pepoel using thé gluts in your vidéo you Said thé shifting wieght by tuck the pelvis . In the push off way i khnow it's the Bad way for walking i just want khnow how they shifting thé wieght from thé rear leg to the the front . Leg
They step forward by leaning as they push until they fall onto the forward leg. The lean can come from the upper body or by keeping the pelvis in an anterior pelvic tilt. After they have fallen onto the forward foot, then they use the lower abs to transfer weight, but the timing is off
@@rimassbouchia4260 Thanks for asking. I combined the two ideas incorrectly. If you are leaning forward from the top, you can change weight with the lower abs. If you have a fixed anterior pelvic tilt, all that is done is that you pick up the rear leg by flexing it without changing weight. That is why the weight distribution is so dangerous for people with an anterior tilt.
Excellent - the best info on the web about walking is here on this channel, people!
Thanks James.
Very good experience. I really need to fix my walking . Thanks
Always welcome
Gotta respect a doc that calls out nonsense and explains why it is nonsense.
Thanks. Somebody has to say something. Too many people are being misled.
@@ToddMartinMD you do great, thank you.

My pleasure.
Excellent lesson once again. There is always one can learn from your videos. Thanks!
Thanks Peter.
Trying to learn again during my suffering from Hoffa's fat pad impingement. This is a very detailed video, thank you sir.
I am glad you like it. Thanks.
That, I would have to know 40 years earlier. 😊 But still can walk now correctly. Thanks for the video. Right now I have knee pain. 🥲
It's never too late to make things better.

Can you teach this demonstrating towards the camera
I have slow motion footage of the normal stride going forward where you can see the proper alignment. I will put it out with explanation soon.
