Design of 3D printed pressure-reducing insoles based on changes in parameters of lattice structure
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2023 Uneven distribution of pressure on the bottom of the foot or excessive local pressure shall cause discomfort. And when it gets severe, this pressure would even damage the health of the human foot, especially for people like the elderly, diabetic patients

EFFECT OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS ON FRICTION COEFFICIENT OF RECYCLED RUBBER FLOORINGS [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2013 The effect of surface roughness on the frictional behaviour of recycled rubber tiles is discussed. Experiments were carried out by the sliding of the bare foot against the tested rubber tiles of different thickness.

A Novel Method for Measuring In-Shoe Navicular Drop during Gait
Sensors, 2012 Analysis of foot movement is essential in the treatment and prevention of foot-related disorders. Measuring the in-shoe foot movement during everyday activities, such as sports, has the potential to become an important diagnostic tool in clinical ...

FRICTION COEFFICIENT OF SMOOTH AND ROUGH RECYCLED RUBBER FLOORING TILES [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2012 The effect of surface roughness on the frictional behaviour of recycled rubber tiles is discussed. Experiments were carried out by the sliding of the bare foot against smooth and rough groups of rubber tiles of different thickness.

Are non-slip socks really 'non-slip'? An analysis of slip resistance
BMC Geriatrics, 2009 Background Non-slip socks have been suggested as a means of preventing accidental falls due to slips. This study compared the relative slip resistance of commercially available non-slip socks with other foot conditions, namely bare feet, compression ...

Human footprint variation while performing load bearing tasks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Human footprint fossils have provided essential evidence about the evolution of human bipedalism as well as the social dynamics of the footprint makers, including estimates of speed, sex and group composition.
