Relationship to Body Structure and Behavior:
This condition can result from a loss of hamstring pulley function during weight bearing. It is more common for people with short height or those using heeled shoes. Loosening of the joint(s) over a long time leads to wear-and-tear.
Suggestions for Prevention:
Lift the swing leg to roll the stance foot.
