Foot shape is related to load-induced shape deformations, but neither are good predictors of plantar soft tissue stiffness
Published in Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2023
Authors: Robert W. Schuster, Andrew G. Cresswell, & Luke A. Kelly
This paper investigated whether foot shape characteristics are related to foot deformations and whether either of the two, or their combination, could predict plantar soft tissue stiffness.
