Podiatric Biomechanics

Podiatric biomechanics is the study of how our feet move and function in relation to the rest of the body. It examines the mechanics of walking, running, and standing, focusing on the alignment, movement, and forces acting on the feet and lower limbs. Understanding these principles helps identify issues like pain or injuries, allowing for effective treatment and prevention strategies. By analyzing how the feet interact with surfaces and the body's overall posture, podiatrists aim to promote better foot health and improve overall mobility.
