New Shoe Brand Promotes Biomechanics

SyNC Ny is a potential new shoe brand that promotes biomechanics and may possibly indicate a breakthrough for athletes as well as women who often wear high-heels. The biomechanics of the shoe, designed by family members Sharone Piontkowski and Shlomo Piontkowski, sport a “dynamic wedge system” which potentially helps reduce pain. The system is patented by Sharone, and was originally designed to help relieve aches and pains for women who wear high-heel shoes. The dynamic wedge system helps support the rotation of the sole when pressure is asserted on the feet. The new shoe can also supposedly aid in athletes’ physical activity by making you “ ‘jump higher and faster,’ ” according to Schlomo Piontkowski.

Proper foot care is important for the biomechanics of the feet, which incorporate the parts that manage the movement of your feet. If you have any concerns about your feet and ankles contact Dr. Marc R. Frankel of The Frankel Foot and Ankle Center. Our doctors will treat your foot and ankle needs.

A History of Biomechanics

– Biomechanics dates back to the BC era in Egypt where evidence of professional foot care has been recorded.
– In 1974 biomechanics gained a higher profile from the studies of Merton Root, who claimed that by changing or controlling the forces between the ankle and the foot, corrections or conditions could be implemented to gain strength and coordination to the area.

Modern technology improvements are based on past theories and therapeutic processes providing a better understanding of podiatry concepts for biomechanics. Computers provide accurate determinations about the forces, moments and patterns of the foot and lower legs with the most important information captured.

Advances in materials and more awareness of biomechanics have developed enhanced corrective methods, offering further options for foot-related injuries. Understanding foot biomechanics can help improve and eliminate pain, stopping further stress to the foot. 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact our offices located in Milford, PA, Warwick, NY, and Middletown, NY. We offer the newest diagnostic tools and technology to treat your foot and ankle needs.
