Congrats to Eric on his new publication on foot/shoe and soft tissue work during human walking
Foot and shoe responsible for majority of soft tissue work in early stance of walking
- Soft tissues in the body perform mechanical work through wobbling and deforming.
- We estimated the percentage due to foot/shoe deformation in early stance of walking.
- .
- Foot/shoe contributed ∼60–70% of the soft tissue work during level and uphill walking.
- Foot/shoe contributed ∼80–90% of the soft tissue work during downhill walking.
