    Aloha,

    This is great research.

    It continues to impress me at how little force is made from the muscles.

    For instance 1 apple dropped 1 meter equals 1 N m. So the total muscle strength of the big toe would be 5-6 apples worth of force.

    We must rely on the non-muscular windlass mechanism to improve this or perhaps we could reinforce our footwear and orthotics with composite materials.

    Keep up the great research!

    A Hui Hou,
    Steve
