    Biomechanics of the Foot

    This chapter focuses on biomechanics of the foot in both the normal and the diabetic foot. The biomechanics of the foot in the normal gait cycle is discussed. Plantar pressure measurements in the foot including both platform and in-sole types of measurements to identify local areas of pressure in the foot are also described. Pathological changes in the diabetic foot lead to altered biomechanics in the foot different from that of the normal foot.
