The lateral step down test can be used to determine quad control, lumbopelvic control, ankle stability, and ankle range of motion.

The quad needs to control the amount of knee flexion over the ankle. Difficulties with this can be due to knee pain. Limited quad control can also contribute to knee issues.

The ankle is highly active with trying to stabilize. Stabilization difficulties can contribute to the knee caving in/outwards and loss of balance.

Lumbopelvic control is needed to prevent the pelvis from dipping and causing a hip drop. Although a hip drop is not inherently bad, it can cause additional workload and stabilization demands on the knee and ankle.

If the ankle is too stiff (we shoot for about 20 degrees of dorsiflexion), then the knees and pelvis are going to compensate.

So what do we do when we see difficulties with the lateral step down test?
Make sure to get enough ankle dorsiflexion
Emphasize eccentric quad strength
Incorporate single leg stabilization exercises
Get the runner more in tune with what the body is doing

In summary, this is a great and challenging test to get our runners more stable to handle the demands of their running.

Have you ever rolled your ankle in the trail?

We’ve been out there and seen it happen 😖

Rolling an ankle can be brushed off as a normal part of trail running, but these sprains can lead to further ankle and knee issues and pain down the road since the ankle’s stability can really take a hit, and the foot and ankle are imperative in taking up the load of running and creating force.

This drill helps to develop dynamic stability against ankle sprains. The reason why is that it forces the ankle to stabilize against the slope of the slant board.

We usually have our runners start by holding onto something and the progress them to purely single leg without assistance.

It’s challenging and saved for the later stages of rehab or as a drill to get someone trail-ready! ⛰️🏃🏻

Let us know if you’ve experienced an ankle injury which has derailed your running and we will get you on a plan to get you squared away.

As speed increases, the load shifts from a calf to a hamstring/hip dominant strategy.
This makes sense since sprinting requires more power.

So when a runner develops hamstring pain, that’s a sign that the tissue can’t tolerate the demands of the speed work (yet).

With an approach consisting of upper hamstring tendon and eccentric work and appropriate load management, the runner can become durable enough to handle the demands of faster running.

This means faster runs and more time with your friends at the track! 💪🏃‍♀️🏃🏻

We work with our runners to get them ready for their next track workout or race.

Reach out to us so we can get you squared away.

Running is more than “That’s bad for your knees.”

It’s confidence, a challenge, mental clarity, and joy.

That’s why being told “Running is bad for your knees” doesn’t sit well with us. If someone is dealing with pain while running, it’s more than getting the person out of pain. It’s getting them back to their reasons why they run, and there are many.

Having pain while running means we need to face it and develop a plan to get it taken care of, not tell the person to just quit running.

Is there an underlying weakness? A range of motion issue? A significant gait deficit? A stability issue? Loading errors?

These are all things we figure out to get runners back to their reasons why they run.

Ankle rolls don’t need to be a daily part of trail running.

This helps to develop balance and stability to prevent that from happening.

Reach out to us so we can get your ankles dialed in for those trail runs ⛰️🏃🏻‍♀️

We love the barbell heel raise because it allows the runner to load the calf, stabilize through the foot, and train the Achilles tendon.

When it comes to running, the lower leg cannot hide. This is why we want to make sure we get it durable and strong enough to handle the demands of running. Sometimes we get limited by the amount of weight we can hold in our hands, so moving to the barbell is one option to get the loading that the legs need.

Dr. Jade was only over two and a half hours behind the 1st place finisher, so we don’t see the problem. 🤣
