Solving Problems of the Foot and Ankle

Fall 2017 Living Healthy With Arthritis Lecture Series

About the Lecture:

Each of our feet contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 120 muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. These all work together to support the weight of our body, act as shock absorbers, keep us balanced, and push us forward with each stride. On average, we spend about four hours standing on our feet every day and take about 5,000 individual steps. Because feet are small compared to the rest of our body, they receive an enormous impact with each footfall.
