foot function

The foot functions as a complex structure that supports your body weight, provides balance, and enables movement. It absorbs shock when you walk or run, thanks to its arches, and distributes forces evenly across the ground. The foot’s muscles, tendons, and bones work together to adapt to different surfaces and maintain stability. Additionally, sensory nerves help you feel the terrain, giving feedback for adjustments. Proper foot function is essential for efficient gait, preventing injuries, and maintaining overall mobility.
