Abstract
The aim of this work is to quantitatively evaluate the stresses acting in a human foot in its upright standing position. In the analysis, both the human feet were modeled using three-dimensional finite element model and studied for the characteristics and performance. The human foot was created using the 3D reconstruction of CT scan. The bone structures were implanted in a mass of soft tissues. Both the foot models were meshed using tetrahedral elements duly incorporating the material properties. The stress distribution of the skeleton and the plantar surface during balanced standing were calculated along with the effect of the stress distribution. Finally, the FEA results of the foot models were compared with that of the experimental results available from the literature.
