Gravity Drive (Pathomechanics seen in Rothbarts Foot)
Gravity Drive: Gravity pulls the foot inward and downward (pronates the foot) until the entire foot rests on the ground.
Rothbarts (Primus Metatarsus Supinatus)
Foot:
The 1st metatarsal and hallux
are structurally elevated
At mid-stance, the body's weight in concert
with gravity pulls the foot to the ground until the big
toe rests on the ground (See Animation below)
Gravity Drive. The
left foot is pronating (orange-red arrow) as the left hip is externally rotating. The
foot motion has escaped hip drive.
