Lower extremity cycling biomechanics. A review and theoretical discussion

T O'Brien
Veterans Administration Medical Center, Palo Alto, CA.

An updated review of cycling biomechanics of the lower extremity is presented. Special attention is directed toward the known data pertaining to foot function. A theoretical discussion on foot function during cycling and its possible link to knee injury is also presented. It is suggested that supinatory and pronatory moments applied to the foot during cycling result in referral of adverse forces to the knee.
