How is the body's weight bourne by the different areas of the foot?
The weight of the body should fall by a direct line through the ears, shoulder, elvow, hip, knee and the then the ankle. This correctly allows the weight even distribution over the foot to the following approximate formula, 50% bodyweight is borne by the heel which is a firm solid structure and the remaining weight is divided across the metatarsals heads, the largest and the smallest taking most of the weight as the foot more stressed.The foot is like a tripod, the weight being borne by the heel and outer metatarsal heads. This is only a guide as forces in the foot dictate that the weight will always shift to maintain the balance.
What is one complete gait cycle?
A complete gait cycle includes both the stance phase (when the foot is in contact with the ground) and the swing phase (when the foot is off the ground). This cycle begins when one foot makes contact with the ground and ends when the same foot makes contact again.
How would heeled shoes affect foot pressure?
Heeled shoes can increase pressure on the front of the foot by pushing body weight forward. This can lead to discomfort, pain, and potential foot problems such as bunions or plantar fasciitis. The higher the heel, the greater the pressure on the front of the foot.
What is the correct foot position to use when accelerating?
When accelerating, it is important to place your foot firmly on the gas pedal while keeping your heel on the floor for stability. Avoid pressing too hard on the pedal to prevent wheel spin and maintain control of the vehicle.

Who exerts more pressure on the ground an elephant or a woman in spike heels?
[At the moment when only the heel rests on the ground.] Ask teams to tackle this challenge. (Stiletto heels have an area of about 1/16 of a square inch. Elephants, unlike humans, walk with two feet on the ground at a time. Each foot is about 40 square inches. Thus, the woman "wins" by far more than 1,500 psi versus 75 psi.)""Humans will only have one foot on the ground while walking. Estimate that the area of the heel on a man's shoe is 10 in2. When he walks, a 200 lb. man exerts 20 psi because the weight is supported momentarily by the heel. A 100 lb. woman exerts many more psi when she wears heels. Depending on the area of the heel, she can exert as much as 1600 psi under a 'stiletto heel' ¼ inch on a side. This explains why people with wood floors don't want women walking on them in high heels.""65kg on a surface of 2 cm2 (e.g., high heel shoes) will result in a pressure of 3 250 000 Pa (beneath the high heels, if the person is standing on the surface of planet Earth). A four ton elephant, on the other hand, standing on one foot will cause a pressure of only 250 000 Pa under that foot. As an exercise try to calculate the area of the aforementioned foot. The solution can be found in this footnote1." http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2003/JackGreen.shtml
Stiletto heels are more likely to mark floors?
Yes, since the stiletto heels are smaller they can create marks on the floors due to the pressure in the heel.
