Biomechanics
Biomechanics in this context is in respect of the dynamics of joints and their related soft tissue, how failure in one part of the anatomy can cause discomfort in other areas. If the foundation of your house slips the walls and roof will move as well to a greater or lesser degree so it is with the skeleton. Furthermore using biomechanics we can consider relieving force and improving balance of load distribution on joints.
When biomechanics is applied in relation to Orthopedic Technology can assist in rectifying many musculoskeletal problems by means of proper assessment and measurement, a foot Orthotic can be designed and engineered to not only correct problems of the feet but produce corrective vertical alignment of the skeleton and balance muscular contraction. Do not confuse a corrective Orthotic which is a non surgical Orthopedic device with a comfort insole. Without the proper assessment and measurement you are unlikely to treat the cause of pain.
