This webcast presents a detailed AnyBody musculoskeletal foot model which includes all bones and joints of a real foot.
Developed in collaboration with Glasgow Caledonian University and University Hospital Maastricht and referred to as the “Glasgow-Maastricht foot model” this model can be driven by motion capture data and uses combined force plate/pressure plate for accurate loading of the different joints. Built-in scaling allows the user to reproduce principal foot deformities such as flat foot and hallux valgus. The high detail level of the model and a built-in scaling protocol allows the user to investigate a wide range of parameters like joints motion and load, muscles activation, both in healthy and pathologic feet.
