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 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...
متن کامل4th congress of the international foot and ankle biomechanics community.
Too many times theories of how the human foot functions and therefore how mechanically inducted foot problems are treated have been presented as if they were facts. The dogmatic adherence that sometimes ensues from such an approach has frequently stifled the evolution of foot mechanics. This has been particularly apparent in the field of podiatry which has been dominated by the Root paradigm. B...
متن کاملMedial Foot Loading on Ankle and Knee Biomechanics.
BACKGROUND: The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries among females continues at disproportionate rates compared to males, with research indicating inconclusive multifactorial causality. Data from previous retrospective studies suggest an effect of abnormal foot and ankle biomechanics on pathology at the knee, including the ACL. OBJECTIVE: To determine if a relationship exists ...
