A client has been experiencing shin discomfort and her medical professional has diagnosed her with medial tibial stress syndrome. Which foot type is often associated with difficulty loading impact and why? Select one: a. Neutral foot due to its inability to transfer energy efficiently b. Low arched rigid foot due to its inability to load energy efficiently c. Low arched hypermobile foot due to its inability to transfer energy d. Rigid foot due to improper loading of impact forces

Stress on the Shin Bone. Compressive strength of our bones is important in everyday life. Young's modulus for bone is about $1.4 \times 10^{10}$ Pa. Bone can take only about a 1.0$\%$ change in its length before fracturing. (a) What is the maximum force that can be applied to a bone whose minimum cross-sectional area is 3.0 $\mathrm{cm}^{2} ?$ (This is approximately the cross-sectional area of a tibia, or shin bone, at its narrowest point) (b) Estimate the maximum height from which a $70-k g$ man could jump and not fracture the tibia. Take the time between when he first touches the floor and when he has stopped to be 0.030 $\mathrm{s}$ , and assume that the stress is distributed equally between his legs.
