Hi all,

I am new to pod area. I have been a pod for almost 5 years now. Before doing Podiatry I worked as a farmer, mostly growing vegetables and provising produce to local supermarkets. I am almost in my 50s but want to contribute something useful to the industry.
Many of you may find this post a bit wacky and please be assured that I have not practiced any of these techqniues on members of the public. I am still involved in preliminary studies and only have a few participants which are close friends or members of my family.
I am working on an already established theorem. As you are aware they are already well established members of the Biomechanics community and it is not my intention to undermine there work. I am also serious about what I am saying.
As somone who has grown vegetables for many years I wanted to try and combine there uses in doing something fun related to podiatry. Many of my friends have found this amusing but it has also served the basis of providing them with good custom orthotics in a fun way. This brings me on to what I have been working on. As you know for years Podiatrists have been using - non-weightbearing methods to make ridgid orthotics. Firstly, there is the attempt to establish the talus neutral position. This appraoch can accomodate significant structural deformities, but claims of rigid control have bot been validated and the reliability of mesaurements with the foot in the air have been questionable.
Anyway to get to the point I have been using vegtables to establish the sub talus neutral postion. The way in which I do this is to use a bit of wood which is shaped as a foot. I then measure the foot and once I have established the size and the midline of the foot I apply a carrot and apply 6n of force. This has produced startling results and actually get the foot into the sub talus neurtal postion. As I said before there is various ways of achieving this but I am sure that this is the first time it has been done with vegtables. I am also working on other areas of biomechanics and will present more of my finindgs as I gain more particpants. Will keep you all updated.
