 Pete, like Nike Free 3.0 many others I’ve noticed the heel strike & the general left leg/right leg asymmetry and I’m neither a PT nor an experienced runner but I think I might just re-state the obvious.The balance and form appears to improve when running barefoot. You also say that she’s been wearing custom-made orthotics for years.So, wouldn’t be closer to natural to run in roomy-flats with no orthotics when (and if) barefoot is not an option?

The right hip also seems to drop quite a lot, so some strengthening exercises may be useful. I see also the difference on the shoulder level, but I’m not knowledgeable enough in biomechanics to know if it is a separate problem or related to the hip drop.

In the meantime, I would do a little bit of timing in her gait. Starting in the stance phase. It seems off. Then maybe putting a metronome on and seeing if she can self adjust into a more symmetrical gait.Having problems with my left knee myself in the past, I found it useful to just look at what my uninjured knee was doing and mimic it in my right.

For me the most obvious area of problems is not the landing, or middle of the stance, the one that screams out to me is the inbalance of loading of the forefoot of the right foot on push off. I would concentrate of pushing off on big toe, and keeping everything as symetrical as possible. This is a dynamic issue rather than a static one so I wouldn’t have though orthotics would help.

-vary her training surfaces b Posted Image y adding more trail running. ITBS is a repetition injury, so if every single foot strike is identical to the last – especially if it is somewhat dysfunctional – it will cause further irritation of the ITB and increase her pain. Stay away from treadmills for a while!

It is evident that her form improves without shoes however the most important aspect might be that her right foot twists to the inside when it goes back, creating too much rotation of the knee. She supinates with the lef Nike Free 6.0 t foot but doesn’t twist her foot as with her right.
