Special notes:
The tibial internal rotators are activated as a group.
The VMO is actually involved in medial tracking of the patella, but is affected by this dysfunction.
The “Posterior Tibialis Activation” has been included in this graph to affect the medial gastrocnemius. Both muscles are activated using these techniques; however, do not get your functional anatomy confused. The posterior tibialis does not cross the knee, and therefore does not directly contribute to this compensation pattern.

Knees Bow In = Tibial External Rotation & Femoral Internal Rotation Note: This compensation pattern may be driven by ankle or hip dysfunction.

The “Hip Flexor Flexibility” and “Adductor” Flexibility articles address the muscles responsible for femoral internal rotation.

Special notes:
This is a tricky dysfunction to analyze. Although you may be tempted to label this “Abduction of the
Hip”, this leads to the ineffective practice of inhibiting an underactive gluteus medius and activating
the commonly overactive adductors. Practice has shown that the overactive synergists of external
rotation are the primary culprit driving this dysfunction as they attempt to compensate for an
inhibited glute complex during extension (or eccentric flexion).
Believe it or not, if correcting this dysfunction results in “Knees Bow In”, this is an improvement. This
sign is one of our first “compensations within a compensation.” If the knees bow in on reassessment
treat the dysfunction as such and use the corrective strategy implied by the table “knees bow in.”

Special notes:
In this dysfunction we are forced to confront our first set of “strange muscles” marked with an “*”. By “strange” I mean they pair a length and activity relationship that is not common. The muscles denoted by an “*” are long, but over-active. These are not muscles we want to stretch, or activate; however, release techniques may be effective for improving function.
The “Tibial Internal Rotator Activation” is only added as a means of increasing semitendinosus and semimembranosus activity.

In this dysfunction we are forced to confront our first set of “strange muscles” marked with an “*”.
By “strange” I mean they pair a length and activity relationship that is not common. The muscles
denoted by an “*” are long, but over-active. These are not muscles we want to stretch, or activate;
however, release techniques may be effective for improving function.
The recruitment of trunk musculature is best explained by muscular synergies known as
“subsystems.” Although the TVA Activation is often the focus of lumbo pelvic hip programs it is likely
recruited with all of the muscles associated with the Intrinsic Stabilization Subsystem.
Similarly the anterior trunk musculature makes up the Anterior Oblique Subsystem

Special notes:
In future articles this dysfunction will be discussed in more detail. Often what cause an asymmetrical weight shift is simply having lower leg dysfunction on one side.
This is an abbreviated analysis and solution, for a more thorough look at this dysfunction see my article – “Sacroiliac Joint Motion and Predictive Model of Dysfunction
Most often this dysfunction is a “compensation within a compensation.” A corrective strategy that resulted in a symmetrical compensation such as, “Anterior Pelvic Tilt”, “Knees Bow In,” or an “Excessive Forward Lean” would be an improvement.

Arms Fall Forward = Shoulder Internal Rotation Note: The muscles that cause the shoulders to internally rotate in static standing posture are the same muscles that would cause extension/adduction of the arms from an overhead position. Short/Overactive Long/Underactive Shoulder Internal Rotators

Special notes:
In this dysfunction we are forced to confront our second “strange muscle” marked with an “*”. By “strange” I mean it pairs a length and activity relationship that is not common. The posterior deltoid is long, but over-active. This is not a muscle we want to stretch, or activate; however, release techniques may be effective for improving function.
It is very rare that shoulder dysfunction exists without scapula and thoracic spine dysfunction. Most often a corrective strategy would include many of the techniques recommended in the graph below “Shoulders Elevate”
Shoulders Elevate = Scapula Downward Rotation + Anterior Tipping Short/Overactive Long/Underactive Downward Rotators

Posterior Tippers:
Serratus Anterior
Lower and Middle Trapezius.
Special notes:
This dysfunction is most often paired with shoulder dysfunction (graph above).
The upper traps fall on both sides of the graph (another strange occurrence). Although they are most often described as “tight,” the levator scapulae play a larger role in the perception of suprascapular and cervical spine “tightness.” The trapezius may be released and stretched if the assessor believes it is warranted, and the muscle is activated during certain progressions of Serratus Anterior and Trapezius activation.
