Walking is a complex activity that depends on the coordination of many body parts, especially the pelvis. When pelvic alignment is off, it can cause changes in how we walk, affecting step length and foot placement. A study by Marshall F (1996) explored how prone blocking techniques influence these gait characteristics in people with pelvic distortion patterns. This post breaks down the key findings and what they mean for understanding and improving gait through targeted inter

A Review of Marshall (AECC Project List, 1996) In 1996, a research project at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) examined an important functional question: Does prone pelvic blocking influence step length and foot splay in individuals with a pelvic distortion pattern? The study — Marshall F. Effect of prone blocking on step length and foot splay in subjects with a pelvic distortion pattern. AECC Project List, 1996 — explored whether a structural pelvic interve
