Constitutive models are important to biomechanics for two key reasons. First, constitutive
modelling is an essential component of characterizing tissues' mechanical properties for …

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

Finite element analysis has been widely used in the field of foot and footwear biomechanics
to determine plantar pressures as well as stresses and strains within soft tissue and footwear …

Custom-molded foot orthoses are frequently prescribed in routine clinical practice to prevent
or treat plantar ulcers in diabetes by reducing the peak plantar pressure. However, the …

Plantar heel pain is a common condition that is often exacerbated by the repetitive stresses
of walking. Treatment usually includes an in-shoe intervention designed to reduce plantar …

BACKGROUND: Wearing high-heeled shoes may produce deleterious effects on the
musculoskeletal system while elevation of the shoe heel with arch insole insert is used as a …

Covering every aspect of the process, this book introduces the design, development,
manufacturing, and marketing of footwear. It also presents a comprehensive discussion of …

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 …

Abstract Background and Objective Diabetic foot is one of the important complications of
diabetes, which is occurred due to the destructive parameters in different anatomical sites of …
