The use of finite element models as research tools in biomechanics and orthopedics has
grown exponentially over the last 20 years. However, the attention to mesh quality, model …

Walking is the most common form of human locomotion. From a motor control perspective,
human bipedalism makes the task of walking extremely complex. For parts of the step cycle …

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) exhibit
greater patellofemoral joint stress profiles compared to persons who are pain-free …

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

Flat foot is one of the common deformities in the youth population, seriously affecting the
weight supporting and daily exercising. However, there is lacking of quantitative data …

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

Forces acting on the body via various external surfaces during locomotion are needed to
support the body under gravity, control posture, and overcome inertia. Examples include the …

Nowadays, footwear serves an essential role in improving athletic performance and
decreasing the risk of unexpected injuries in sports games. Finite element (FE) modeling is a …

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 …

Objective Hallux valgus (HV) is common in older adults, but limited studies of risk factors
have reported conflicting results. This cross‐sectional analysis examined the association of …
