One of the foundational concepts in human movement is that of energy transfer. During human locomotion, the energy transfer of one step into the next is directly related to the foot ground relationship. Join Podiatrist and Human Movement Specialist Dr Emily Splichal as she explores how our relationship with gravity directly impacts the quality and efficiency of our movement patterns. Learn how enhance your relationship with gravity to make it your friend, not your foe. Objectives To define ground reaction forces and their relationship to gravity To discuss how the neuromuscular system loads and unloads the energy of impact To discuss how to optimize damping and transferring of impact forces To define common impact related injuries and how to address them through exercise
