... increases local metabolic energy expenditure (Fig.  1 c), but that it also facilitates an unfavorable cascade of biomechanical and metabolic adaptations within the limb (Fig.  1 a). As we describe in the next section, this cascade could serve as a mechanistic framework for linking age-related reductions...

...Hylton B. Menz Foot pain is highly prevalent in older people and has a significant detrimental impact on mobility and quality of life. In recent years, there has been increased interest in exploring the biomechanical factors that may contribute to the development of foot disorders...
