Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Jen, Did he mean new AFO braces? If you have a bad set of AFOs it can change your gait so that your hips can become weak. Adam gets checked for that every time he goes to the orthotist. Quote
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Hi Jen, The weak hip thing seems to be common. I know I was showing signs of weak muscles inside my hips too. My PT gave me some daily leg lift type things to do (hip extensions) which are seemingly simple but really good for my hips - that funny not right kind of tickly feeling goes away when I do them consistently. My friend told me that an article she picked up on active.com also had info on core muscle strength and the same muscle I work out was sighted as a core muscle that needs to be worked. I have been meaning to get a copy of the hip dysplasia article that was shown as published on a few months ago. If I do then I will let you know what it says. Best wishes, Donna from London Quote
