Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Foot biomechanics is a primary topic in the scientific field and it concerns the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. This area of study has the potential to provide optimal results and detail pathologies that are extremely harmful to patients and their diminish quality of life dramatically.
In this sense, the interpretation and understanding of foot biomechanics changes on a daily basis because there is not a full and clear paradigm capable of explaining normal and abnormal foot behaviour.
Gait analysis devices and instruments of foot biomechanical assessment, which are breakthroughs in foot science, provide better and more accurate data. This advance enables the study of musculoskeletal disorders and provides many pathways through which to understand injury, discover new treatments, and even uncover new preventive strategies for avoiding injury.
Advances in foot biomechanics and gait analysis are the future of human biomechanics, musculoskeletal and related sport sciences, traumatology, and rehabilitation.
