Understanding lower limb biomechanics is essential for analyzing movement and addressing dysfunction. This book offers in-depth coverage of joint mechanics, force distribution, and gait analysis specific to the hips, knees, ankles, and feet. It emphasizes clinical relevance through diagrams, examples, and practical applications. Designed for students of physiotherapy and sports science, it strengthens biomechanical reasoning. The content supports accurate diagnosis and targeted intervention in lower limb therapy.
Arvin de la Cruz is a biomechanics researcher and clinical educator who specializes in lower limb function, load distribution, and gait analysis. He has collaborated with engineering teams to develop motion capture systems and wearable devices for movement tracking. Arvin’s work spans pediatric orthotics to adult post-injury rehabilitation, focusing on optimizing lower limb alignment and joint efficiency. He is a frequent contributor to international journals on kinesiology and orthotic science. His lectures combine theoretical depth with applied motion science. Arvin supports physiotherapy innovations through interdisciplinary collaboration.
