What does the heel axis mean?

The position of heel axis refers to the straight line from heel to toe when standing. The axial position of heel is an important basis for judging foot posture. Knowing the axial position of the heel can help doctors judge whether the foot is normal and choose the appropriate treatment plan.

The axial position of heel will be affected by many factors, such as the tension of muscles and ligaments, the angle of hip joint, knee joint and ankle joint. During standing, walking or exercising for a long time, these factors may lead to changes in the axial position of the heel. Therefore, it is very important for people who need to stand or exercise for a long time to maintain a good posture of their feet.

According to the different axial position of heel, doctors can take different treatment methods, such as physical therapy, insole correction, surgery and so on. Usually in daily life, maintaining the correct posture of the foot is also an important means to balance the axial position of the heel, such as correct standing posture and choosing the right shoes. Keeping our feet healthy is very important for our quality of life and health. I hope everyone can pay attention to it.
