    Impact between human heel and orthotic wedge

    Thank you. How did you define those numbers? I'm not sure the x-axis is horizontal since it is the reaction forces at the foot-wedge interface which we are really interested in. Is there are relationship between the angulation of the wedge and the Young's moduli of the wedge and foot and the...

    Impact between human heel and orthotic wedge

    Please be gentle, I'm not a physicist, I'm a podiatrist trying to find the answer to a problem that has been confusing me! I hope you can help. In podiatry we often use foot orthoses in an attempt to alter the magnitude, location and timing of reaction forces at the foot's interface. A...
