Frustrated-Part II

[KnottedYet]

Oh, yeah, and a pelvic obliquity can make you toe out, too. An outflare of an ilia will make the foot turn out because it changes the orientation of the hip joint. Also, if you have a slip or rotation which makes one leg appear to be a lot longer than the other, your femoral head might rotate out on the "long" appearing side (making you toe out) to force that foot to pronate and so make the leg act shorter. It's a compensation that's quick and dirty. In either case, if you try to force your feet to point forward the next joint up the chain is most likely to take the stress (knees).

Your body only cares that it keeps your eyes level. It'll sacrifice feet and knees and ITB's and hips and vertebrae (scoliosis type stuff) and shoulders to do so. Eyeballs win any argument.
