Preferred term

foot health  

Definition

  • Feet are the foundation of our bodies, and a disorder in the foot may alter the biomechanics of the balance between the feet and the rest of the body. Due to the complex structure of the feet, an otherwise small discomfort may become magnified once the effects of gravity take place on the feet due to the load they carry.
