TrueGrid® Finite Element Model of Human Foot Walking


Sachin P. Budhabhatti has created a hexahedral mesh of a forefoot model for a current study directed by Dr. Peter R. Cavanagh at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. These images are provided courtesy of Cavanagh Lab at Cleveland Clinic Foundation. They retain all the copyrights.

The first ray model was used to simulate various first ray deformities like hallux rigidus, arthrodesis, and footwear interventions. It includes 3 bones (metatarsal, proximal phalanx, and distal phalanx), soft-tissue, and cartilage. It was also used as a stepping stone to creating the forefoot mesh.

This model includes 17 bones (five metatarsals, five proximal phalanges, five distal phalanges, and two sesamoids) and soft tissue. The model is being used for morphing and footwear design purposes by Cavanagh lab.
