Did you know that at Nolaro24 we nicknamed our C Quad “The John Wayne Walker!”
John Wayne was famous for more than one reason but that swagger tops the list! Here at Nolaro24 we see it as less than a swagger and more of a classic toe out gait. The toe out gait occurs when an uncompensated rearfoot varus is coupled with a neutral forefoot alignment. The C Quad cannot pronate at the subtalar joint and compensates with external rotation of the hips. While we may never really know what John Wayne’s foot type was, we enjoy using that famous swagger to help people understand what our C Quad patient walks like.
