Hi All,

This is a bit of a vague post but I have been trying to find some info regarding the effect on feet/knees using walking poles while hiking. The only info I can find is in the technique of using the poles but nothing about their effect on the lower limb & the differences with using 1 or 2 poles.
I don't really have a direct question but basically being winter here in HK, we are in the middle of the hiking season with some of the longer trail walks being held (50-100km). I can have an educated guess at the differences in using 1 or 2 poles & the need for them (eg, maybe symptomatic knee = 1 pole ??, maybe using arms decreases impact to the lower body ??) but thought some of you out there in Podiatry world may be able to direct me to some studies or at least have some experience with trail hikers themselves.
I really appreciate any help/advice you can give me so I don't look like too much of a moron in front of my patients!
Cheers!
