Abstract
Within this paper, a detailed study is elaborated regarding the human foot during both orthostatic and gait, the main goal being to develop 3D models which are very useful in the foot motion and loading state research. In order to elaborate the accurate 3D modelling of the human foot assembly, a thorough biomechanical study is done. Such a study was required due to the fact of the high anatomical complexity of the motions within the foot, taking into consideration the 26 bones and 33 joints consisting it. The research aims the CAD modelling of the biomechanics of the healthy subjects alongside with predisposed pathological conditions. The resulting models will have important utility in both educational field and for further CAE approaches and studies.
Highlights
The use of the engineering approach, as in the current paper, in terms of 3D modelling of solids using professional CAD system, proved its usefulness regarding the human bone system research [1,2,3]
By using the 3D models, it is assured the possibility of elaborating the simulation of specific pathologies, predictions regarding the evolution of specific diseases, developing the simulations of virtual surgical interventions, including the usage of medical device such as implants or prosthesis
The main purpose of such a generalized assembly is to ensure the environment for the further elaboration of an assisted biomechanical system, through which a vast area of pathological conditions, displacements and other relevant medical cases can be studied
Summary
The use of the engineering approach, as in the current paper, in terms of 3D modelling of solids using professional CAD system, proved its usefulness regarding the human bone system research [1,2,3]. By using the 3D models, it is assured the possibility of elaborating the simulation of specific pathologies, predictions regarding the evolution of specific diseases, developing the simulations of virtual surgical interventions, including the usage of medical device such as implants or prosthesis. Another advantage can be achieved by using Finite Element Analysis methods, which can lead to pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative simulation of diverse pathologies surgeries. - Elaboration of the generalized model and developing the Skeleton systems within; - 3D model particularization; defining and controlling the pathological conditions
