          Abstract

          Since the time of D. Morton in clinical evaluation we talked about the concept of hypermobility as a cause of diseases such as hallux valgus. To date, this concept has been deepened in order to better understand the pathological mechanisms that create deformity, in order to identify the most appropriate prevention and correction procedures. Physics introduced the concept of stiffness, a property that also belongs to the podalic structures. Changing the terminology is difficult, but the knowledge of biomechanics requires the elimination of the term hypermobility because it resultsinconsistent with the physics applied to the foot, in favor of the terms stiffness and compliance. These clarifications make it possible to us to deepen even more specific and timely therapeutic choices, thus reducing the risk of iatrogenic complications which follows interventions on the first ray.

          Center of pressure and its theoretical relationship to foot pathology.

          The measurement of center of pressure has been widely used in the evaluation of foot function. This article will describe center of pressure and indicate how it can be used to calculate moments about the joint axes of the foot. Various uses of center of pressure described in the literature will be examined. A model based on the use of the location of center of pressure relative to the location of the subtalar joint axis will be proposed as a theoretical explanation of selected foot pathologies and their treatment.
