The feet, our remarkable foundation of mobility, are a testament to intricate engineering. Comprising 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, they are finely tuned instruments of balance and motion. As we walk or run, the arches act as shock absorbers, distributing the impact forces throughout the foot. With each step, the Achilles tendon propels the body forward while calf muscles contract. The feet adjust to various surfaces and terrains, adapting to provide stability. The complex interplay of tendons, ligaments, and muscles facilitates movements such as flexion, extension, and rotation in perfect harmony.  Whether sprinting, dancing, or merely strolling, our feet work tirelessly to support us, reminding us of the intricate symphony of our body's mechanics. If you would like additional information about the biomechanics of the feet, it is suggested that you speak with a chiropodist who can provide you with the knowledge you are seeking.

The biomechanics of your feet play an important role in your foot health. To learn more, please consult with Chiropodist Stephanie Poupore from North Bay Foot & Ankle. Our clinician can help you maintain the health of your lower limbs and your mobility. 

Foot biomechanics refers to the study of the structure, function, and motion of the feet. The feet and ankles are a complex system consisting of many bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons that work together to move your feet. Understanding the unique biomechanics of your own feet can help you and your chiropodist make informed decisions about your foot health care. This includes decisions about the best preventive measures to avoid foot pain, the best treatment options for various foot problems, and finding the best shoes for your feet.
