The foot performs the following functions:
· Safe movement regardless of the surface you walk on
· Movement control – the ability to choose and change direction (walk forward, backward, sideways)
· Reducing the load that falls on the knee, hip joints, and spine during walking
As you can see, the function of the foot is very similar to the function of a car's wheels, and foot pathology is like driving on a flat tire. Even if the rest of the car works perfectly, you cannot drive normally with a flat tire.
