Biomechanics & Orthotic Therapy Newsletter
Monthly Newsletter by Dr. Kevin Kirby
This month, Dr. Kirby discuss the biomechanics of the Medial and Lateral Longitudinal Arches of the Foot. These are generally considered to be the two main components of the longitudinal arches of the foot.
Since these two complex structures vary in makeup, shape, and function, understanding them is an important biomechanical topic when planning patient care.
