Biomechanics & Orthotic Therapy Newsletter
Monthly Newsletter by Dr. Kevin Kirby
In this newsletter, Dr. Kevin Kirby discusses strain and stress in the structural tissues of the foot. The viscoelastic characteristics of these tissues are important to understand since it explains biomechanical characteristics of the foot and lower extremity. This knowledge can assist in treating injuries both conservatively and surgically.
