Biomechanics Podiatry
WHAT IS BIOMECHANICS PODIATRY?
Biomechanics Podiatry is the specialty of diagnosing, treating and managing, disorders and resultant injuries of the feet, ankles, knees, legs and their associated structures.
Feet and legs are examples of complex human engineering, with 60 bones and an intricate network of joints, ligaments and muscles.
Improper structure or function of the foot and leg can result in a wide range of injuries to the legs, knees, feet, hips and throughout the entire musculo-skeletal system.
A detailed understanding of the interaction between each of these structures is needed in order to make accurate diagnosis of foot, ankle, knee and leg pathology.
