Double Crush syndrome (Kim)
which Achilles tendon is more frequently ruptured and why?
LEFT - due to right side dominance and people pushing off with their left leg

2-4 cm proximal to calcaneus because of frequent crimping (Bowstring effect) and insufficient blood supply
Poor biomechanics due to ______________________ expose the kinetic chain to forces such as abnormal shearing, bending or torque.
structural imbalance
Bowstring effect
superior aspect of calcaneus moves lateral to medial to lateral to medial, etc. so Achilles tendon is moving back and forth in the coronal plane

deformity

2,5,6
When is pronation during gait?
2,5,6 (any time there is single support)

Bowstring of Achilles and Internal rotation of tibia (double support)
During flat foot (pronation/single support), what happens to the swing leg?
loses ground contact (single support and internal rotation)
At Mid-stance (MID-day), the foot is in pronation leading to supination. We know the foot is in pronation at mid-stance because
there's only one foot on the ground/single support and all prior single supports are pronated
