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.
