More Description

This book is about the analysis of the foot structure and its mechanics from an animator's point of view as the author was a Disney animator before she became a pedorthist. It focuses on the tarsal joint not many people talk about. Animators know how to analyze movements with weight and gravity reaction force, and cannot miss any subtle movements in order to draw out natural movement for big screens. This trait helped the author in discovering of the tarsal joint in need of proper orthotics to keep it from falling and subtle compensatory behaviors the human body does on the fallen tarsal joint; these compensatory behaviors have been prevented to perform the exact physical balance test on the human body. This book also records how the arch area of the small foot is constructed to handle the entire body weight, and the importance of using the orthotics under the arch that aligning the anklebones can keep the tarsal joint from falling, thus, can utilize the arch area for weight bearing; because the fallen tarsal joint tilts the anklebone on which the entire body stands. This tarsal joint is a group of joints that form the arch of the foot, and it's the foundation of our body; if it falls, the entire body structure goes out of alignment from the feet up. This causes many foot deformities and many structural problems throughout the entire body. So it's important to use the proper orthotics that supports the tarsal joint to the point of aligning the anklebones. This is a fact not many people know about. Also, this book records the condition of the ground changing from the Garden of Eden before the curse of the ground to Noah's time, and until now, and the lifespan of the people then, in between, and the present proving the condition of the ground under our feet might have affected the lifespan of human being. Also, this book talks about how to test the alignment of the anklebones, which should be tested when getting the orthotics.
