Abstract

In vivo biomechanical properties of plantar soft tissues have been assessed via manual indentation using simplified loading profiles [1], or in gait, with low image resolution/capture rates [2]. Since plantar soft tissue properties are highly rate dependent [3] these methods are potentially inadequate. The Soft Tissue Response Imaging Device (STRIDE) permits functionally relevant loading profiles to be applied to the plantar tissues.
