Biomechanics of the ageing foot and ankle
Foot pain affects up to 24% of people aged over 65 years, and is associated with difficulty undertaking activities of daily living, problems with balance and gait, an increased risk of falls, and reduced health-related quality of life. Established risk factors for foot pain in this agegroup include female sex, obesity and chronic medical conditions such as osteoarthritis and diabetes. However, ...
متن کاملBiomechanics of the foot and ankle.
The human foot evolved to provide: (1) mechanisms to limit the excursion of the center of mass during ambulation and thereby minimize the expenditure of energy; (2) a base of support of sufficien dimensions for the stability necessary to maintain the upright position without excessive muscular activity; (3) mechanisms for flexibility to absorb the shock of the body weight and for accommodation ...
متن کاملBiomechanics of the normal and abnormal foot.
The foot is an engineering marvel that allows the body to perform many physical activities over a wide variety of terrain with remarkable efficiency. The functions of the foot and the lower extremity are biomechanically integrated; thus normal lower-extremity function requires normal foot function and vice versa. Because the subtalar joint is the main pedal joint allowing the triplanar translat...
متن کاملEvaluation of abnormal biomechanics of the foot and ankle in athletes.
Athletes often suffer from recurrent or chronic overuse symptoms of the lower extremities. During the office visit it is essential to analyse the patient's shoes, gait cycle, lower extremities and, especially, the talocrural, subtalar and more distal joints of the ankle and foot. The basic (clinical) biomechanical analysis can be supplemented by radiographs, treadmill and video analysis and mir...
متن کامل(vi) Anatomy and biomechanics of the foot and ankle
The foot is a complex anatomical and biomechanical structure. It functions to allow stable stance, ambulation and the effective transfer of force through the lower limb. A thorough understanding of how the foot and ankle achieve this is essential for planning surgery and avoiding the consequences of nerve injury, poor wound healing and disrupted function. This review looks at the current unders...
