![]() ![]() Weight is one factor, but so are the size of segments, the size and length of tendons and muscles, and technique.Ībout technique: when walking, you can modify your gait to lean more toward one component or the other by "stiffening" of "loosening" your gait. The missing part (the fact we have articulations and a musculo-tendinous system) was added to the pendular model to make it a compliant model (we absorb energy at impact, then some is restituted and some is added at toe off). The first models of walking described it as an inverted pendulum (to visualize it, make your hand walk on two straight fingers, the mass being your body/hand connecting to the ground via legs/fingers). OP is correct in his assumptions that lack of knee work and poor technique is part of it, but I'd go as far as saying that flat feet (to the exclusion of other potentially associated problems) is not a determinant factor.Ī beginning of explanation is linked to the nature of the walking gait in homo. I'll give it a shot, because there is much more to the walking gait than the quality of ground-foot interaction. ![]()
