Advanced biomechanical model of the human foot

A detailed model of the human foot was developed in order too precise predict foot structure motion during the stance phase of the gait. The biomechanical model of the foot was represented by 3D geometry of the bones, kinematics of the joints, lines of action and forcegenerating properties of muscles and set distributed elastic springs (plantar aponeurosis, soft – tissue). The equations of the linkage dynamics, the muscle contraction and the activation dynamics with the redundancy solved by optimization techniques. This preliminary musculoskeletal system of foot can support future activity in tht field of design prostheses.

Foot; lower limb; locomotion; musculo – skeletal model.
