Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Ora, You may be on to something here about that just like with being right or left handed we can be right or left legged and I will ask the podiatrist about this as well when I go back. But any way I find this interesting because he said that with the fact that I have abnormal gait I would end up putting more pressure on my left leg because of the issues with the right side, and because of the pressure on the left side and my other side trying to balance out (part of this ties in to a contracted achilles tendon which also has an effect on my knees) I ended up with a callus (one on each foot), one on my right big toe and one at the base of the fifth toe of my left foot. They became pressure points. I'm glad we are discussing this at length (no pun intended) because now I'm starting to understand a bit more where the orthotics come in to play. Because after I started to walk on them and started walking thru the parking lot a bit (because mom asked) she was surprised at how much more evenly aligned I was than before.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I have taken 25 years of dance and it isn't just a theory, people ARE either "right legged" or "left legged." Usually it is connected to your "handedness" ie-right or left handed. People can do complex dance steps easier on one side or the other and they are usually a bit stronger and more flexible on the right or left side. Lindsey Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Also I believe that most people have one foot which is slightly larger than the other. My left foot is a bit larger than my right one. Same with my mother. I am right handed and my right knee gives me trouble from time to time but so far no problems with my left knee.
