Analysis of the foot using finite-element modelling

The technique of finite-element modeling will be applied to a complex biological structure: the human foot. After construction of the morphological model, and assigning relevant mechanical properties, the stress on internal foot structures will be evaluated, based on externally imposed loading regimes (forces and plantar pressures) known from our own previous work.
