Complementary to experimental studies, computational biomechanics has become useful
tool for the understanding of human foot biomechanics and pathomechanics. Its findings …

Finite element (FE) analysis is a computational modeling technique in which a system of
algebraic equations is used to calculate the displacements, strains, stresses, and forces in a …

The objective of this study was to develop and validate a subject-specific framework for
modelling the human foot. This was achieved by integrating medical image-based finite …

Therapeutic footwear with specially-made insoles is often used in people with diabetes and
rheumatoid arthritis to relieve ulcer risks and pain due to high pressures from areas beneath …

The aim of this paper is to provide a general review of the computational models of the
human foot. The field of computational simulation in biomechanics has significantly …

The functions of the gastrocnemius–soleus (G–S) complex and other plantar flexor muscles
are to stabilize and control major bony joints, as well as to provide primary coordination of …

Background A proper combination of implant materials for Total Ankle Replacement (TAR)
may reduce stress at the bearing component and the resected surfaces of the tibia and talus …

Hallux abducto valgus (HAV), one of the most common forefoot deformities, occurs primarily
in elderly women. HAV is a complex disease without a clearly identifiable cause for its …

Following rupture, tendons are sutured to reapproximate the severed ends and permit
healing. Several repair techniques are employed clinically, with recent focus towards high …

The human foot is a complicated structure comprising 28 bones (Figure 1.1) and numerous
muscles, ligaments, and other connective tissues. To facilitate the foot in weight bearing …
