Shear loading= tendency of the femur to displace anteriorly on tibial plateaus(glide)
Knee flexion angle exceeding than 90 degree result in larger shear forces.

Plantar Fascia
• Thick bands of fascia that
cover the plantar aspects of
the foot
• During weight bearing=
mechanical energy is stored
in the stretched ligaments,

assist with push-off of the
foot from the surface.
