Hence, the remaining intact surface of the talar dome is usually sufficiently large to bear the loads; contact surface pressures do not significantly change with talar defects up to 15 mm in diameter [ 65].
The Hover-bed is a device on which a patient is supported with the minimum of body contact and surface pressure.
When analyzed by visual lameness score, differences were seen in heart rate, contact surface area, contact pressure, and cortisol concentrations.
To determine the effect of contouring of an in-shoe foot orthosis on plantar contact area and surface pressure, as well as perceived comfort and support at the foot-orthosis interface during stationary cycling.
The FEA results were used to determine mechanical properties of the connections that were difficult to obtain from the tests, such as the changing rule of the bolt tension, the stress distribution of bolt, the contact force on various contact surface, and the pressure on the wall of bolt hole, as well as the effects of friction coefficient on the performance of the connections.
Differences in stance phase duration and serum cortisol concentration values were seen both between periods and between treatment group × periods; differences in heart rate, contact surface area, and contact pressure values were seen between periods, suggesting that our lameness model was effective.
The values and progression of the foot shape, peak foot pressure (kPa), average foot pressure (kPa), total contact surface (cm2), loading time, and step time (ms) were recorded.
In the above-mentioned paper, we used an incorrect balance equation of force between the wind dynamical pressure and the nebular pressure on the contact surface by overlooking the change in the cross section for the momentum flux of the wind.
