About this event
This annual event brings together researchers focused on patient-specific, image-based foot and ankle biomechanics. It's a wonderful opportunity to share knowledge, present your work to your peers, and expand your network.
You'll also have the chance to observe presentations related to four key topics: objective measurements, analysis and predictions, applications, and plantar pressure in motion capture. Seats are limited, so register quickly to secure your spot.
Gain insights into topics such as:
- The latest innovations from Materialise Motion
- How physics-based modeling can impact orthotic design
- The reliability of non-invasive scanning procedures
- Modeling foot stiffness
- Enhancing insole design through finite element modeling
- The use of foot pressure measurements to determine treatment of a pelvic fracture
- The clinical use of plantar pressure measurements in neurological patients
- The challenges and opportunities of 3D motion capture in high-tech environments
- Combining an in vivo and in silico approach to analysis
- Calculating multi-segment foot joint kinetics using plantar pressure and the Amsterdam Foot Model
