Abstract:
The plantar pressure and shear force measurement, the function and effect of joints, bones and ligaments of foot during running and walking, and the modeling and finite element analysis of human foot are three important aspects in biomechanical study of foot. They are also the basis of the study of rehabilitation. In this paper, studies on the three aspects are reviewed, and further promising developments are proposed.
