“…It has matured over the years, consolidated and has attempted to explain many of the magical thoughts into language that contains newer terminology, methodology and science that hopefully has the substance and durability to increase the Consensus of Biomechanics back to its glory days of importance and applicability as a science. In 2018, the science was published a Foot Centering Biomechanics [10], an integrative human science that exists in closed chain holistically, from the ground up, like a human that can stand, move, bend, task and adapt in the air and gravity of Earth [11][12][13][14].…”

Foot Centering Biomechanics (FCB) takes a neoteric approach to Lower Extremity Biomechanics because Biomechanics has been relatively stagnant in recent decades with few important and clinically applicable additions to the literature that discuss innovations and new approaches to solving the same problems that have not been theoretically resolved or proven in peer reviewed study. FCB has introduced new methodology, diagnostic tools, treatment modalities and nomenclature for the biomechanics and bioengineering community. There is a logical progression to FCB as well as anecdotal and clinical and published work in its defense that has stimulated research and clinical professionals to visit and test market Foot Centering in their own institutions, clinics and practices. As Foot Centering terminology regarding anatomy, diagnostic testing, treatment services and tools and biomechanical innovations has become a part of modern lower extremity biomechanics there is a lot to absorb regarding new terms and words that explain what was previously not even considered as important editions to biomechanics. This paper is a collection of terms and words presented alphabetically as a Glossary for those interested in increasing their foundational knowledge regarding Foot Centering Biomechanics.

“…There are many important points of possible debate and action that need further study and reporting. They include: a. Declaring Rootian Biomechanics, Subtalar Joint Theory and "Overpronation of the Rearfoot" Iconic but in need of iconoclastic replacement due to its stagnation of Biomechanics for so long [53][54][55].…”

The human foot is an adaptable work of living art. It gathers data from the ground and its surroundings and transports it through the spinal cord to the brain stem, the Limbic brain and the cerebrum for processing. It maintains support, stability and balance creating a foundation for posture. It receives instructions from the brain on how to pose its structure and be engineered by its motors, pulleys, screws, levers and wheels as a biomachine, thousands of times a day over one's lifetime. Biomechanically, the foot has not been considered as engineered by biomachines that motorize and maintain support and balance of its forefoot, midfoot and rearfoot segments. These segments have independent structure and function but can also close pack to form a single pedal unit of various stiffness and functions allowing the foot to be a multi-function complex machine in closed chain. This paper introduces Supinatory End Range of Motion (SERM) and Pronatory End Range of Motion (PERM) of any joint of the foot and the interval motion that exists in between as the SERM-PERM Interval (S-P Interval) to replace kinetics and kinematics in biomechanics. SERM-PERM examination and the determination of the SERM-PERM Interval determine whether a joint segment will be close packed, flexible, injured or broken in both open and closed chain. This paper introduces The BioKickstand of The Foot as the most important biomachine of the foot and posture because it is the linchpin of human stance and motion. When working, the BioKickstand engages and disengages to morph from being a rigid lever to a functional adapter or anything in between thousands of times a day. S-P Interval motion is not pathological. When broken, the BioKickstand either has a low SERM-PERM Interval and the joint motion is reduced (hallux rigidus) and these BioKickstands are jammed. If the SERM-PERM Interval is high, the joint will not be able to engage for stability and balance (functional hallux limitus, bunions, postural complaints). The BioKickstand of the Foot must be diagnosed as working or broken and treated primarily in addition to any compensatory complaint or injury. this paper considers taking current mainstream lower extremity biomechanics to a neoteric place that may provide a path to improved structural and functional understanding and control of the foundation of human stance and movement, the masterpiece called the Human Foot.
