Running biomechanics can differ from walking biomechanics. This difference may create mechanical stress that leads to pain during physical activity. A specific assessment is therefore necessary.
- static postural analysis
- gait analysis
- dynamic running analysis
- analysis of sporting movements
- assessment of sports footwear
- evaluation of repetitive stress
- plantar pain
- tendinitis
- shin pain
- knee pain
- mechanical overload
- recurrent injuries
- instability during activity
The podiatrist advises on sports footwear based on:
- biomechanics
- type of sport
- training volume
- training surface
Specific insoles can be designed to:
- correct alignment
- reduce mechanical stress
- improve comfort
- optimise force transmission
They are manufactured using appropriate technologies such as thermoforming, CAD-CAM, or 3D printing.
