Default Windlass Mechanism reference
Podiatry Arena members do not see these ads
Looking for the earliest reference to the 'windlass mechanism' in the literature. Most authors credit JH Hicks as being the first to describe it.

The mechanics of the foot. II. The plantar aponeurosis and the arch.
J Anat. 1954 Jan;88(1):25-30.

Do others know of any earlier reference to the windlass mechanism prior to this?

Regards,
Ian

I have seen nothing earlier and we published several papers on it.

That is why they call it the "Windlass Effect of Hicks". John Hicks was the first to describe it, as far as my knowledge of the worldwide foot biomechanics literature goes.

Thanks Kevin, we are doing some work on the windlass effect and want to be correct in our recognition of "Hicks's windlass effect" .

I know its silly question .but can someone please explain to me this question
Fully describe the hicks windlass considering the relevant anatomy and joint motions and placing it in the context of the normal gait ?
I know this question would be coming up in exam ....

Nope, you describe it and maybe people will help you if you made a mistake.

I can't explain it here on the arena better than I did here...

Fuller, E.A. The Windlass Mechanism Of The Foot: A Mechanical Model To Explain Pathology J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 2000 Jan; 90(1) p 35-46

The pictures really help.


It's the same in gait as in stance, but the external forces are different.
