Q & A for The 16% - Case Study: High Arched Foot - Early or Late Propulsion? - BillHartmanPT.com

I had a very productive mentorship call yesterday with a very interesting presentation that should be helpful in understanding the foot.
With @neurocoffee in hand, let’s have at it.
Here’s the presentation:
A client with limited SLR, limited hip flexion, and limited hip IR but a very high arch.
The conflict appears to be a late propulsive strategy in the hip/pelvis but an early foot strategy.
There’s one detail left out that I show in today’s video.
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
If you can understand an airplane wing, you can understand the arch of the foot.

what about if the toes are raised and pulled up rather than clawed? where does that fit in? thank you..!

So a powerlifter also needs the 1st ray on the ground to produce force during squats and deadlifts. It would make sense to me that their feet are more pronated as an adaptation. I guess I'm missing something.

[@BillHartmanPT]

See the difference in standing vs. lifting positions. Powerlifters tend to lift with wider stances to accomodate limitations in hip ROM and access force producing position. This would allow first met head to reach the ground and access IR.
