Foot ProblemsYour feet are crucial to carrying out your daily activities. That is why it is so important to take extra time to specially care for your feet. Feet are like sponges - they absorb an extreme amount of force each day, cushioning our body from hard surfaces. Most foot problems occur as a result of mistreatment, for example - working our feet too hard or wearing fashionable yet uncomfortable shoes. Most people don't realize foot complaints are as a common as headaches and the common cold. In fact just about everyone experiences foot problems from time to time. Foot problems can easily be prevented or treated by taking proper care of your feet. HOW THE FOOT FUNCTIONS The foot is very complex and extremely functional. It maintains not only the equilibrium of the leg but also of the body. It is a rigid structure, acting as a lever that stabilizes and lifts your body's weight in order to move forward. BIOMECHANICS Principles
and techniques of mechanics, when applied to the human body, are
known as biomechanics. The "load" on bones, muscles and
joints are studied from the static and dynamic standpoints to determine
the effects of force or improper functioning. The principle of biomechanics
can be applied to the feet since they are structurally and functionally
connected to the legs, hips, and spine. By establishing the optimum
position and function of the feet, it helps the entire skeletal
system function to its maximum capacity. |
