Finite element modelling of the foot for clinical application: A systematic review (2016)
Journal Article
Behforootan, S., Chatzistergos, P., Naemi, R., & Chockalingam, N. (2017). Finite element modelling of the foot for clinical application: A systematic review. Medical Engineering and Physics, 39, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2016.10.011

Over the last two decades finite element modelling has been widely used to give new insight on foot and footwear biomechanics. However its actual contribution for the improvement of the therapeutic outcome of different pathological conditions of the...

Viscoelasticity in Foot-Ground Interaction (2016)
Book Chapter
Naemi, R., Behforootan, S., Chatzistergos, P., & Chockalingam, N. (2016). Viscoelasticity in Foot-Ground Interaction. In M. F. El-Amin (Ed.), Viscoelastic and Viscoplastic Materials. InTech. https://doi.org/10.5772/64170

Mechanical properties of the plantar soft tissue, which acts as the interface between the skeleton and the ground, play an important role in distributing the force underneath the foot and in influencing the load transfer to the entire body during wei...

The relationship between arch height and foot length: Implications for size grading (2016)
Journal Article
Hill, M., Naemi, R., Branthwaite, H., & Chockalingam, N. (2017). The relationship between arch height and foot length: Implications for size grading. Applied Ergonomics, 59(Part A), 243-250. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2016.08.012

Objective Medial longitudinal Arch Height is synonymous with classifying foot type and conversely foot function. Detailed knowledge of foot anthropometry is essential in the development of ergonomically sound footwear. Current Footwear design incorp...
