Video Description:
The video is divided into three parts, each demonstrating the mechanics of natural walking gait and how it is supported by dirt and our insoles.
1. Natural Walking Gait Explanation:
The video begins by breaking down the biomechanics of a natural walking gait. It explains how:
• The foot rolls from the outer edge to the inner edge, initiating the gait.
• The tibia pitches forward, setting the ankle joint for stability.
• The heel yaws, rotating naturally as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.
Close-up shots and slow-motion footage provide a clear view of these movements, emphasizing their importance for efficient and natural walking.
2. Demonstration on Dirt:
In the second part, a barefoot individual walks on soft dirt. The dirt’s natural give and texture highlight the feedback it provides, allowing the foot to roll, the tibia to pitch, and the heel to yaw seamlessly.
The compression of the dirt under the heel and forefoot is shown in detail, mimicking how the body naturally adjusts to the ground’s contours for optimal movement.
3. Demonstration with Insoles:
The final part showcases the same natural gait mechanics replicated with shoes equipped with our insoles.
• The foot rolls smoothly, supported by the insole’s design.
• The tibia pitch aligns naturally, facilitated by the insole’s structure under the transverse arch.
• The heel yaws just as it would on dirt, thanks to the insole’s ability to mimic the responsive feedback of natural terrain.
The video concludes with a side-by-side comparison of walking on dirt versus using the insoles, demonstrating how the insoles replicate the feel and mechanics of walking on natural surfaces. A final message encourages viewers to rediscover natural movement, no matter the terrain.
