Abstract
The current study was intended to determine the tension on the surface of the foot at rest of the standing person. This task was solved by footprints in the mass whose mechanical parameters were known to us from previous experiments.
These values can now be used to simulate footprint impressions. A gypsum casting was made which could be scanned using a stereofotogrammetry.
Based on this, a 3D mathematical model of the foot was created using the FEM (FEM) computer simulation to capture the partial pressures at the boundary of the foot and imprint material, respectively between the leg and its surroundings. The resulting shift values are in good agreement with the real load values, the maximum pressure below the foot reaches 180 kPa.
