Abstract
Although the research of the biomechanics of the foot is widely developed, it still offers further improvements and refinements of this structure capturing, particularly in the field of mathematical models. The use of anatomically accurate finite element (FEM) models of the human foot in research studies has increased rapidly in recent years.
In recent literatures, many other theoretical models, such as kinematic models [1], mathematical models [2], and finite element models [3] of the foot had been developed. In our work, the plaster cast from the foot imprint was created, which was possible to scan using stereophotogrammetry.
The foot 3D mathematical model was then created with help of the FEM computer simulation to capture the partial pressures on the interface of the foot and imprinting material and its surroundings, respectively.
