The way in which foot bones function in relation to each other and the leg, determines the functional capabilities of the foot whilst walking. The podiatrist takes a series of measurements of the feet and legs to assess the relationship. An assessment of muscle flexibility is also undertaken as this will affect leg and foot function. The podiatrist will then be able to determine the best positions of the leg and foot to enable them to function more efficiently.
Biomechanical analysis provides information on alignment of the foot and leg. We must also consider the way in which the foot functions during walking and running, this can be achieved to an extent by watching the patient walk or run, however, finer points of motion are too fast for the naked eye. We use a video and a treadmill to record the walking pattern. This can then be played back for a more detailed analysis. This analysis is particularly important for sportsmen or women or patients suffering back pain.
