The sides of the body should be help equally otherwise the head will move across towards the shortened side and the central line of balance will be affected. The torso should move in a unit and be placed over its new base with the weight falling over the front of the foot and the front of the heel of the supporting leg. The pelvis needs to be kept level. It is important to remember that if the supporting leg is not well placed and controlled then problems will be experienced in the placement and control of the working leg
