Podiatry

A biomechanics basic assessment within podiatry is an initial evaluation conducted by a podiatrist to assess the structure, alignment, and function of a patient's feet and lower limbs. The assessment aims to identify any biomechanical abnormalities or imbalances that may contribute to foot pain, gait issues, or other lower limb conditions. It serves as the foundation for developing a comprehensive treatment plan to address the patient's specific needs. 

Biomechanics and gait analysis are two important concepts within the field of podiatry. Podiatrists use biomechanics and gait analysis to assess how the body's structure and movement patterns can affect foot function and overall lower limb health. Biomechanics examines how the alignment and function of the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints in the feet and lower limbs can influence overall posture and movement. Gait analysis is used to evaluate the biomechanics of a person's walk or movement and identify any abnormal movement patterns that may contribute to foot and lower limb problems.

A podiatry review is a follow-up appointment or examination conducted by a podiatrist to assess the progress of a patient's treatment plan and to ensure that their foot and lower limb health is being effectively managed. The podiatry review is a crucial part of the ongoing care and management of various foot conditions and lower limb issues.
