Can any one help with the following modelling question.
Members do not see these Ads. Sign Up.
We are already attempting to explain and model ORF (Orthoses Reaction Forces) and some some work has been done on the mechanics of footwear.
However, has anyone done the 'coupling' effect of orthoses and footwear modifications.
For example, how can we model the combined effects of a 4 degree posted foot orthoses or medial skive etc with a medial flare and 4 degree post integrated into the sole unit of footwear.
I understand the math but how do we model the subjectives - fibro fatty pad displacement, shear of the foot on the orthotic, heel counter/heel interface, internal shear of the calc on the fibro fatty pad etc etc.
This is not purely an academic question, as if I wish to provide a supinatory moment to the rearfoot complex, how can I get the correct effect without over cooking it?
Both methods have there pro's and cons and I like to use a combination.
Any ideas greatfully accepted
Cheers
Phil
