TrueGrid® Finite Element Model of Human Foot

Dr. Bil Ledoux, Dr. Danny Camacho and colleagues have created a finite element model of the human foot. The model includes bones, ligaments, plantar soft tissue and cartilage. This work has been sponsored by VA Puget Sound and the University of Washington. They have a web site devoted to a description of this research. This study is listed as one of the current projects of the VA Center of Excellence for Limb Loss Prevention and Prosthetic Engineering.

Dr. Ledoux has graciously provided us with several views of his model and his results. To see the full-size image, click on any of the thumbnails below.
