Cycling offers unique challenges to lower leg Biomechanics. By definition, it is neither a closed chain nor open chain sport. As this is the case, we must treat the foot biomechanic differently than normal foot-to-ground activities. Cycling is the only sport where the leg is attached directly to a machine (the bike). As it exists as the primary contact point between leg and bike, the connection between foot and pedal is paramount for proper transfer. Simply stated, the better the connection, the more efficient the power stroke becomes. Cycling orthotics function by efficiently distributing the contact forces between the foot and the pedal. As many cyclists experience forefoot numbness, ankle tendonitis and knee pain due to faulty biomechanics, custom cycling orthotics offer a cyclist an excellent adjunct to a professional bike fitting.
