A comprehensive set of multiple-choice questions and answers covering key concepts in biomechanics and kinesiology, specifically focusing on the anatomy and mechanics of the foot and knee. It explores topics such as pronation and supination, pes cavus and pes planus, talocrural and subtalar joint movements, the windlass mechanism, knee alignment, the screw-home mechanism, and ligamentous structures of the knee. Valuable for students studying biomechanics, kinesiology, or related fields.
