Runners with high arches are at increased risk for suffering stress fractures, small cracks in the bones of the feet and lower legs, and people with low arches are at increased risk for knee cap pain.
If you are running at six miles per hour, proposing foot to ground with a force of more than three times the body weight. The faster you run, the harder your heel to the ground. This force can break bones, damage joints and tear muscles. The human body is designed so that you neverLand flatfooted when. They land on the outside bottom of the heal and roll inward toward the big toe. This helps distribute the force of the foot strike in the entire foot and leg, and protect you from injury. The further you roll inward, the greater the protection against this force. However, if you roll too much, your lower leg twists inward excessively, so that your knee cap against the long femur bone behind it and rub cause pain. This is called runner's knee.
IfYou have pain behind the knee cap during running or walking, ask your podiatrist to look at your feet. If your arches appear to be flat, you usually have a normal arch, but you turn inward so far that your arch touches the ground. Their treatment is, special inserts, orthotics as a place where the special running shoes and exercise their vastus medialis muscle that pulls your knee cap inward do strengthen.
If you develop pain in the medial side of the leg or yourFeet, your podiatrist probably a bone scan for stress fractures, small cracks in the bone to check the feet. If you stress fractures and high arched feet, you need specially padded running shoes and have to learn to try and beat the ground with less force, if you.
