Deep Longitudinal Kinetic Chain Marching right on through gait, once that leg swings through, it has to land. The deep longitudinal subsystem runs from the lateral foot and leg up the hamstrings, through sacrotuberous ligament to the contralateral erectors of the spine. These are depicted darker, and the prime movers are lighter in this image. It’s like looking at half of the #spiralline of #fascia, but we’re #movement focused. You know, you would think I would have thought of the polarity of gait before this moment, but each phase of gait pairs into positive/negative poles or yin and yang. Here we have the heel strike, yang, paired with shift, yin. They then transform respectively to suspension, yin, receiving weight and propulsion, yang, actively moving weight. To transition, yang, recovering from suspending weight and activating muscles to return to center, and finally paired with swing, yin, as it swings through space without any active participation with the ground.
