What can cause stress on the knee and hip joints?

If instead the feet point straight ahead (which we are all taught to do when walking and running), then adverse stresses will be placed on the knee or hip joints. This is because we are trying to override a normal biomechanical condition with our socialized expectations of having feet that nicely face forward.
