Claims

1. The purpose of the swivel is relieve stress on the ankle and the knee, allowing the planted foot to turn freely, as the upper body turns from left to right. Taking a blow in a fixed position implies no way to dissipate the energy, and damage ensues. Older people tend to fall when there is no ability to shift a force that will take them to the ground.
