This article presents a mechanical model that can be used to understand the foot, to help develop methods of treatment of foot pathology, and to provide direction for future research in foot mechanics and pathology. The anatomy and mechanical function of the windlass mechanism of the foot are analyzed using principles of mechanical engineering. The principles of force couples and free-body diagrams are explained and then applied to the foot. The relationship of the windlass mechanism to plantar fasciitis or heel spur syndrome, hallux abducto valgus, and hallux limitus is discussed.
本文提出了一个力学模型，该模型可用于了解足部情况，辅助开发足部病理学的治疗方法，并为足部力学和病理学的未来研究提供指导。运用机械工程原理分析了足部绞盘机制的解剖结构和力学功能。解释了力偶原理和自由体图，然后将其应用于足部。讨论了绞盘机制与足底筋膜炎或跟骨骨刺综合征、拇外翻以及拇趾僵硬的关系。
