Master Foot & Ankle Biomechanics with New & Improved Class “When the Feet Hit the Ground Everything Changes”

When the Feet Hit the Ground….Everything Changes is a beginner to intermediate live/in person course designed to advance the mastery of foot & ankle biomechanics. As the first point of contact to the ground, the feet play a major role in lower-extremity chain mechanics. With proper treatment and mechanical correction, debilitating injuries can be both overcome and prevented.

EXCERPT: Foot Orthoses Alter Lower-limb Biomechanics in Basketball Players—Flat Feet or Normal Arch

EXCERPT: Foot Orthoses Alter Lower-limb Biomechanics in Basketball Players—Flat Feet or Normal Arch

Flat-footed persons are believed to have poorer jump performance compared to those who have a normal arch. Foot orthoses are commonly used to support the deformed foot arch and improve normal foot function. However, it is unclear if use of foot orthoses affects jump performance in athletes.

We Are The Heart of National Biomechanics Day

We Are The Heart of National Biomechanics Day

The International and American Societies of Biomechanics were founded in 1973 and 1977, respectively. Coincident with the expansion of Biomechanics during the following decades, fitness and health have moved out from under the realm of medicine and are rapidly overtaking the realm of the personal—the personal lifestyle to be more exact (think yoga, yogurt, and yoga pants).

National Biomechanics Day 2018: Opening Young Minds to a Burgeoning Field

National Biomechanics Day 2018: Opening Young Minds to a Burgeoning Field

National Biomechanics Day (NBD) 2018—April 11, 2018—continued building excitement for the field by engaging 11,000 young students across 150-plus sites around the globe. The home-grown events allow high school (and younger) students to experience first-hand a field that underlies orthopedics, exercise physiology science, physical therapy, and countless other fields that involve human movement and performance.
