Hi Philip, I like this. How do we know what the optimal position on the foot to experience pressure is? Could certain positions be optimal for some purposes (e.g. to walk fast, to balance on a bar) but not others (e.g. to minimise immediate pain, to minimise long term pain, to strengthen specific muscles). It sounds like a real conflict scenario to me! What do physios do about this currently? My hunch is that they have a good understanding of the biology of walking and a some understanding and use of these kinds of 'compensatory mechanisms'?
