Sentence examples for foot stiffness from inspiring English sources
However, how prosthetic foot stiffness influences muscle and foot function is unclear.
Our design employs a cabling system whose tensioning will allow for alteration in tarsal packing in order to change overall foot stiffness.
The effect of prosthetic foot stiffness on recovery kinetics from an error in foot placement may inform prescription practice and lead to new interventions designed to improve balance.
These results highlight the influence prosthetic foot stiffness has on muscle and foot function throughout the gait cycle and may aid in prescribing feet of appropriate stiffness.
This study assesses the influence of prosthetic foot stiffness on amputee walking mechanics and balance control during a continuous turning task.
The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of altered prosthetic foot stiffness on muscle and foot function using forward dynamics simulations of amputee walking.
The presented paper brings new aspects of punching resistance due to influence of footing stiffness and consequential ground stresses distribution.
The influence factors obtained in this study address the ring geometry, footing stiffness, footing embedment, and the soil non-homogeneity by which it is assumed that the soil elastic modulus increases linearly with depth.
The reason for such behaviour one should look in the fact that with the load increase a gradual decrease of the footing stiffness occurs, before all because of the cracking of the concrete cover, and then because of the shear crack propagation towards the footing column and increase of the plastic deformations in the reinforcement and in the concrete.
This investigation evaluates a new technique to model prosthetic feet as a combination of springs and dampers, and therefore characterize a foot's stiffness and viscoelasticity by means of spring and damper coefficients.
The dependency of pressure pain thresholds (PPT) on area, A, and speed, v, can be mathematically modeled in the form, PPTi = [ai + bLn v ]Aβ i = 1,2…13 where β and b are constants and are dependent on location and gender, and ai is a constant highly correlated with foot tissue stiffness.
