What are Biomechanical Assessments?

Biomechanics is the study and analysis of gait and human movement. Podiatrists observe patients for any alterations in the optimum sequence of events between the foot, the lower limb, and the rest of the body during the walking (running, cycling, skiing etc) phase. Deviations from the norm, can lead to heel pain, foot strain, ankle, knee, hip, lower back and neck pain.
