I left Mac's photos til this week as Emma was down and I knew we would have a good chance to get footage and photos over the bank holiday. Mac has made good progress over his time here and its good to be able to get the comparisons up at last.
When he arrived his landing was worse on this foot (the clips are below) and he also had worse medio-lateral balance on this foot. It's good to see that the balance of his foot is better now; his better landing confirms this.
Mac's feet were never going to change dramatically as he has been out of shoes for a while and on a good diet. For him the changes are about developing a stronger foot which is more able to support him.
His RF had a better landing when he arrived though it had caused problems in the past. however on arrival here his landing on this foot was heel first and he had a reasonably well balanced foot.
You can see that he has done more mileage while he is here and his foot is looking stronger as as result.

You say not huge changes but when looked at next to each other, there are some pretty interesting things going on. I'm surprised by the degree of angle change coming in as it looks like it's coming in more steep, which is definitely not something I would have expected him to need!
ReplyDeleteFab heel first landings now though and actually on a better screen, the medial lateral balance has definitely improved too, rf looks almost level, and lf isn't too bad either
Definitely going in the right direction!
He is fascinating isn't he? Lots that you wouldn't necessarily expect and as often the case the photos don't really tell the whole story!
