Mechanical Modeling of Foot Heads: Shinichi Hirai Contact: Zhongkui Wang Date: 2013 - Mailing address: Dept. Robotics, Ritsumeikan Univ. Kusatsu, Shiga 525-8577, Japan Supported by: Associated lab/group: Ikoma Lab. (Kyoto Pref. Univ. of Medicine)

Project Description

The aim of this research is mechanical modeling of flatfoolt. Based on images of foot, we build a finite element model of flatfoot and perform physical simulation of walking and surgery.
