Development of an Industrial Test Platform for Foot Health Device and Footwear Testing (2024)
Thesis
Shahid, Z. (2024). Development of an Industrial Test Platform for Foot Health Device and Footwear Testing. (Thesis). The University of Salford

The current development pathway for medical and non-medical foot health devices faces challenges. Specifically, medical devices often proceed to clinical testing with limited functional testing which can result in spiralling costs and ineffective p...

Characterising the biomechanical properties of the plantar soft tissue under the conditions of simulated gait
Thesis
Parker, D. Characterising the biomechanical properties of the plantar soft tissue under the conditions of simulated gait. (Thesis). The University of Salford

The plantar soft tissue at the heel and ball of the foot provide the interface between the body and the ground. This tissue is adapted to attenuate large amounts of energy during impact (heel strike) and to become rigid under continuous loading (stan...
