How is Your Gait?

Sep 17, 2005 · by John · In: Footcare, Footwear, Health, Sports Tagged: biomechanical problems, dr. pribut, form, gait, Hiking, jogging, running, walking, wikipedia

As long as you have good form, whether walking, running, hiking—or any activity where you are using your feet for movement, you stand a better than average chance of not injuring yourself due to a biomechanical problem. But have a pack that rides wrong on your back so you lean to the side, weak abs that make you lean forward, tired arms causing your shoulders to drop, or spent quads cramping up, and your body is tossed out of alignment. This will ultimately work its way down to your feet. As …

Preventing Biomechanical Problems

Sep 15, 2005 · by John · In: Footcare, Footwear, Health, Sports Tagged: biomechanics, feet, Foot Care, Footcare, Footwear, the foot

In Biomechanics and Your Feet, I talked about the intricate makeup and design of the foot. Let’s take it a step further and talk about preventing problems.     The body lines up over the foot.

He or she will also want to see your running …

Biomechanics and Your Feet

Sep 13, 2005 · by John · In: Footcare, Footwear, Health, Sports Tagged: biomechanics, bones of the feet, foot biomechanics, gait
