An ABC certified pedorthist who used to be an animator at Walt Disney Feature Animation Studio writes this book. Animators know how to analyze the movement with weight and ground reaction force. With simple analysis of the law of physics, this book demonstrates how your foot arches are falling each step you take; and why orthotics are essential devices in order to align your ankle bones, thus provide true balance for your feet.With nearly 200 illustrations, this book shows the foot structure and its mechanics, and how your body is connected to the ankle bones that are part of the arches. With the fact that your legs stand right on the ankle bones and the arches falling each step you take and tilting the ankle bones; this book demonstrates how these fallen arches cause foot deformities and pains while misaligning our body's major joints that stand on the ankle bones. Also, this book demonstrates how the orthotics that align your ankle bones can prevent and improve fallen arch syndromes all over your body; and most importantly, how to test your ankle bone alignment and how to stand and walk correctly. Also, by comparing the orthotics to eyeglasses, she clearly demonstrates the functions of orthotics and shoes for your foot balance.With aligned anklebones, your body will move more efficiently in every activity, at work or in sports, while minimizing injuries.
Author Biography
Inna Chon, an ABC certified pedorthist, has been analyzing the foot structure and its mechanics with an animator's viewpoint, as she was a former Disney Feature Animator. Animators analyze movement with gravity (or weight) and ground reaction force. She, also, analyzes the physical compensation system that operates in our body on the fallen arches and divides it into primary and secondary categories. And she sheds new light on the importance of ankle bone alignment and how to test your ankle bones, and by performing the ankle bone alignment test you can find how effectively your orthotics are made. She had her pedorthic education at the Foot and Ankle Institute of Temple University in Philadelphia in 2005. Her major in college in Korea was physical therapy, which helps to treat the foot issues without surgery or medication.
