A Three -Dimensional Finite Element Model of the Foot and Ankle for Foot Support Design
Understanding of the biomechanics of human foot and ankle complex can help in designing a better foot support. Experimental approaches are limited to interfacial pressure measurement between the foot and supporting surface and gross motion tracking of major foot joints. The measurement of internal stress/strain and individual bony movement of the foot and ankle,which is essential in enhancing knowledge on the biomechanics of the foot, is still sparse due to experimental difficulties. Computer simulation provides an efficient alternative to acquire those important clinical parameters.
