Ive been reading bits and pieces over the last weeks about bending moments of the metatarsals.

Over this time Ive come to think abouit Wolfs law. . Nice and simple increase load > bone growth. The more the load the thicker the bone.
But since reading these 3 articles Ive come to the point that we maybe able to use wolf´s law a guide the level and direction of Bending moments over many years. This may make our orthotic prescription better customised. Of course it may only be theorical and have no bearing in the real world.
Article 1 suggested read by Kevin about bending moments in the metatarsals
Articel 2 Bending moments in the 2 met and then effect of heel lift and muscle balnce on these moments
Article 3 Bending moments in long bone ( this is research in sheep and primates) but the maths show that bending moments are not linear.
From these calculations we maybe able to work backwards and work out where the casue of the bending moment is comming from and design more specific custom orthotic or treatment plan in the case of muscle fatigue.
thinking too much or something to consider ?
