Calcaneus

In humans, the calcaneus (from the Latin calcaneus or calcaneum, meaning heel) or heel bone is a bone of the tarsus of the foot which constitutes the heel.

Exostosis

An exostosis (plural: exostoses) or bone spur, is the formation of new bone on the surface of a bone.

Flat feet

Flat feet (also called pes planus or fallen arches) is a postural deformity in which the arches of the foot collapse, with the entire sole of the foot coming into complete or near-complete contact with the ground.

High-heeled shoe

High heels are a type of shoe in which the heel, compared to the toe, is significantly higher off of the ground.

Obesity

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health.

Osteophyte

Osteophytes are exostoses (bony projections) that form along joint margins.

Plantar fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a disorder of the connective tissue which supports the arch of the foot.

Spur

A spur is a metal tool designed to be worn in pairs on the heels of riding boots for the purpose of directing a horse to move forward or laterally while riding.

Stress (mechanics)

In continuum mechanics, stress is a physical quantity that expresses the internal forces that neighboring particles of a continuous material exert on each other, while strain is the measure of the deformation of the material.
