Forum user Adam write in to the editors of Podiatry Arena to find out what the five greatest fallacies of podiatric biomechanics are, with a focus on cycling.
Dear Craig, Simon, Kevin, Bruce, Eric and all other interested or suitably opinionated.
I’ve been refreshing my comprehension of pedal biomechanics of late and wondered if you had an opinion on what the 5 greatest mis-truths of this discipline are. In other words what concepts most people think/ assume are correct, that havn’t yet been tested by science or are likely to be.
Will value your thoughts…1, 2, 3 , 4, 5 !
Regards. Adam.
- Excessive pronation is pathologic (its not)
- Forefoot varus is common (its extremly rare)
- Foot pronation is a compensation for a structural LLD (its not)
- 10 degrees is the normal ROM for the ankle joint (its not)
- Foot orthoses work by changing the pattern of rearfoot and/or midfoot motion (they don’t)
