Shear wave elastography can assess the in-vivo nonlinear mechanical behavior of heel-pad (2018)
Journal Article
Chatzistergos, P., Behforootan, S., Allan, D., Naemi, R., & Chockalingam, N. (2018). Shear wave elastography can assess the in-vivo nonlinear mechanical behavior of heel-pad. Journal of Biomechanics, 80, 144-150. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2018.09.003

This study combines non-invasive mechanical testing with finite element (FE) modelling to assess for the first time the reliability of shear wave (SW) elastography for the quantitative assessment of the in-vivo nonlinear mechanical behavior of heel-p...

Aim To validate the paper grip test for assessing plantar flexion strength of the hallux. Methods Plantar flexor strength for 69 people with diabetic neuropathy was assessed: (a) using the paper grip test while simultaneously a plantar pressure...
