1) the three elements in the brief (a) the title, b) the style requirements and c) the other notes) all appear to address different aspects of podiatry. The title suggests a biomechanical emphasis, the style requirements suggest a clinical emphasis and the other notes detail the chapter headings that you require.
I have therefore adopted the layout suggested in the other notes. I have left the headings in red so that you can either leave them in or adapt them into chapter titles if you wish
2) 6,000 words will nowhere near cover all of the topics that you have asked for. I have therefore restricted my input to those areas which most people find difficult ( the academic bits) and referenced them fully for you. The clinical bits (the patient assessment) I have left out as I'm sure you can put in a case that is known to you (if not, the Jon Salmon paper is virtually ideal with a bit of adaptation)
3) I have not tackled some of the headings in sub-section 4. This is because they are capable of different definitions in different institutions. I would suggest that you look at the lecture notes from your particular academic staff and put in what points are clearly important to them. PDG.

Demonstrate in depth an understanding of gait and be able to critically analyse the results of its assessment. Demonstrating an in depth knowledge of biomechanical foot pressure measurement within the context of Podiatry Practice:
Normal Gait Cycle.
A critical analysis of the normal gait cycle can be a hugely complex undertaking in terms of the current knowledge of biomechanics. The understanding of the gait cycle is also something that has evolved from the functional conceptualisations of the foot as a rigid structure which is held in its position by a summation of the synergistic actions of muscles ligaments and bones to act as a rigid lever on which the extraneous muscles of the leg and trunk can act to lift and propel the body in motion (Petrovici I 1968).

Murray first coined the term gait cycle as a form of periodic sinusoidal motion, especially when walking or running forward normally (Murray M P et al. 1964) from his pioneering work in the photographic analysis of human gait. This was evolved further with the work of Winter who produced tables of standard deviations from normal in respect of abnormal patterns of gait. (Winter D A 1990).
