The Foot Centering Biomechanics (FCB) Glossary

Abstract

Foot Centering Biomechanics (FCB) takes a neoteric approach to Lower Extremity Biomechanics because Biomechanics has been relatively stagnant in recent decades with few important and clinically applicable additions to the literature that discuss innovations and new approaches to solving the same problems that have not been theoretically resolved or proven in peer reviewed study. FCB has introduced new methodology, diagnostic tools, treatment modalities and nomenclature for the biomechanics and bioengineering community. There is a logical progression to FCB as well as anecdotal and clinical and published work in its defense that has stimulated research and clinical professionals to visit and test market Foot Centering in their own institutions, clinics and practices. As Foot Centering terminology regarding anatomy, diagnostic testing, treatment services and tools and biomechanical innovations has become a part of modern lower extremity biomechanics there is a lot to absorb regarding new terms and words that explain what was previously not even considered as important editions to biomechanics. This paper is a collection of terms and words presented alphabetically as a Glossary for those interested in increasing their foundational knowledge regarding Foot Centering Biomechanics.
