Summary
During their lifetime, the average human walks three times around the world. Usually, one does not realise how important the foot is until problems with it exist. These usually arise when the balance between the intrinsic quality of the foot and load or stress on the foot is disturbed. A mild change of foot structure without consequences for most people, can cause complaints in an athlete who runs 100 kilometres a week.
