The effect of weakened triceps surae muscles on stance and gait

September 20, 2006

Dear ers,

Dr. Paolo Vinci was kind enough to send me the Full Text copy of his

recently published paper. (A week or 2 ago I posted the abstract) You

can find the Full Text in our Files Section under " Rehabilitation

Management " .

Gretchen,

I read this article. This is EXACTLY what happened to me!!! I have been trying

to figure out why I have no balance anymore. I am wondering what would be the

best exercises to rebuild my triceps surae (which I now know is the

gastrocnemius & soleus combined)???? I have a stationary bike at home which I

sometimes use. But, since having my son have lost my ability to balance so I

thought it was my abs which I have been working on perpetually.

I will hit the bike alot more now that I know it might be that. I also think

that the fact that I got braces around 1999 has finally contributed to the

weakness of my TS. Well, I am at the library and would like to print the case

report by P. Vinci but when I bring it up in adobe, here at the lib., it will

not let me either print or email it to myself to print.

I was wondering if you could email the stance/balance case report to me?!!!

Thanks!

Dawn Turmenne
