It could be weak quads, weak glutes, or a timing issue. The posterior pelvic tilt is what is bringing them forward over their leg. The posterior pelvic tilt with the glute max activating will extend the knee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthclick.com\/courses\/restoring-functional-gait.php\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthclick.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Running-Course-1015x1024.jpg\" alt=\"PT Stroke Rehab Continuing Education Course\" class=\"wp-image-1352\" width=\"508\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthclick.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Running-Course-1015x1024.jpg 1015w, https:\/\/www.healthclick.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Running-Course-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/www.healthclick.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Running-Course-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.healthclick.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Running-Course-768x775.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.healthclick.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Running-Course-1522x1536.jpg 1522w, https:\/\/www.healthclick.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Running-Course-2029x2048.jpg 2029w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Timing is Everything<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timing is Everything &#8211; PT Stroke Rehab Continuing Education Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a timing issue for the therapist, as well. I have to get him facilitated and his pelvis moving before the knee moves back. If the knee is moving back, then the quads are on. We want the femur moving forward. My force this time is going to be it is going to be a rotation, but I am trying to get him forward, too. A nice cue would be to ask them to stick their belly button forward. That helps get that hip extension and control that excessive knee extension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Props to Gain Motion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have somebody who requires much more assistance, they can not weight bear through that leg; sometimes I will get a stool.  I can do it this way if I do not have to give a lot of support, but if I have to help his leg, or support himself, then what I can do is I can bring my shoulder onto his ischial tuberosity just superior to it. I can still do that motion, trying to get that posterior public tilt. But now my hands can come down here to help control the knee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Although 65% to 85% of stroke survivors learn to walk independently by 6 months post stroke gait abnormalities persist through the chronic stages of the condition<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3196659\/\">Gait training strategies to optimize walking ability in people with stroke: A synthesis of the evidence<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upper Extremity Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time, those people will do well with some upper extremity support.
