Hi.
Does anyone know of a simple text/website that explains the meaning of some of the terms that are sometimes used to describe movements.
It's a long time since I did physics at school and I assume it is where they come from. Cheers.

Hi Bullpod,

Have a look at this thread from a while back...

There's a fair few new-ish words there that you can look up, and a lot of it is described in Kevin Kirby's books:

Kirby KA: Foot and Lower Extremity Biomechanics: A Ten Year Collection of Precision Intricast Newsletters. Precision Intricast, Inc., Payson, Arizona, 1997.

Kirby KA: Foot and Lower Extremity Biomechanics II: Precision Intricast Newsletters, 1997-2002. Precision Intricast, Inc., Payson, AZ, 2002.

Or search around Podiatry Arena and you'll find a lot's of these terms explained...
