Abstract:

Background: The foot has to fulfil important and complex functions which are, in most regions of the world, supported by shoes. The interface of feet and footwear has often been considered with respect to comfort and function but also to negative effects of shoes. One main contribution to the improvement of footwear fit is provided by matching the shape of the shoe to the shape of the foot. However, current approaches for implementation only include static information. There is still a lack of dynamic information about foot morphology and deformation.

Abstract:

The human foot has been accepted over the years as an important source of afferent input, used not only in the recognition of the surrounding environment (e.g. hard and soft surfaces), but also in the fine regulation of common daily-live movements (e.g. gait and balance control). The performance of these movements is usually accompanied by fluctuations in foot skin temperature as well as reciprocal blood flow changes at the foot area. Moreover, both variables are likely to be affected by footwear usage. Although these three factors are constantly present during the performance of daily live mo

The foot keeps body balance and stability during walking, running and performing various physical activities.

However, it is yet unclear whether there is a relation between body stability and foot arch stability.

Introduction: Instrumented gait analysis and inverse dynamics are commonly used in research and clinical practice to calculate lower extremity joint kinetics, such as power and work. However, multisegment foot (MSF) model kinetics have been limited by ground reaction force (GRF) measurements. New technology enables simultaneous capture of plantar pressure and shear stress distributions but has not yet been used with motion capture. Integrating MSF models and pressure/shear measurements will enhance the analysis of foot joint kinetics. The purpose of this study was to develop methodology to int

Abstract:

Rubble-strewn corridors, stairs and steep natural terrain all present a challenge for wheels and tracks. Legs are a solution in these cases because foot placement allows the traversal of discontinuous terrain. Legged robots, however, currently lack the performance needed for practical applications. This work seeks to address an aspect of the problem, foot placement while running. A novel hopping height controller for a spring-loaded legged robot is presented. It is simple and performs well enough to allow control of the ballistic trajectory of hops and therefore foot placement. Additionally, i

Abstract:

One major way that running style varies between individuals is how their foot strikes the ground (forefoot strike or rearfoot strike). Running generates a torque about the ankle that depends on the individual’s foot strike pattern, length of their plantar flexor moment arm, and force generated from the plantar flexor muscles. The foot strike pattern during running, gastrocnemii muscle thickness, and heel length (used as an approximation for plantar flexor moment arm) were determined in 41 runners. Forefoot and rearfoot strike runners had the same thickness of the gastrocnemii muscles. However,

Diabetic foot infections remain one of the major complications leading to a leg loss every 3 seconds due to amputations causing mental trauma and distress.

Foot wounds are a debilitating and potentially fatal consequence of diabetes. Assessment of foot wounds in clinical or research settings is often based on subjective human judgement which does not involve quantitative measurement. When measurement is conducted, it takes the form of ruler-based estimations of length and width to approximate perimeter or area. To monitor wound healing and make informed treatment decisions, clinicians require accurate and appropriate measurements of wound parameters. Effective wound assessment requires imaging and software techniques which enable objective identi

碩士<br>國立體育學院<br>運動科學研究所<br>93<br>All kinds of leisure activities are important parts in human’s life. It is foot that takes all of the strength from any kind of activity, like walking, staining and jumping. And they adapt to different environments. There are some differences between every one’s foot shape, like high arch, low arch and normal arch. Some people have wider front foot and others have narrow ones. It shows the variations of each one’s foot shape. That is the reason why we need various shoes shape to help our foot satisfy each one’s needs. There is little research about foot in

碩士<br>中原大學<br>醫學工程研究所<br>91<br>This research utilized plantar pressure measurement and finite element analysis to the biomechanical effects of orthoses with carbon foot plate for patients with partial foot amputation.The material properties of several commonly used orthosis materials were measured using a material testing machine and then input into a finite element software for nonlinear material simulation. From the pressure measurement results we found: When carbon foot plate was added into the orthosis, the propulsive time was shortened and the propulsive force was increased. This result i

博士<br>元智大學<br>工業工程與管理學系<br>106<br>Foot can be regarded as a sign of human aging process. Due to modern technological development, decreasing chances of walking and exercise resulted in degenerative development of foot muscles that easily leads to falls, also making the increase in the percentage of population with flatfeet. The longitudinal arch of a flatfoot is not obvious, causing poor foot balance control during aging. The purpose of this study was to verify the balance-improvement strategy through changes in gait balance and static balance indicators: (1) normal foot with regular exercise
