Dear BIOMCH-ers,
The post of symposium details for the footwear meeting prompts me to ask for
your help. Does anyone know of any studies of symmetrical and asymmetrical
loading of the left and right feet in normal movements and in static postures?
I am working on bone length asymmetries in the human lower limb, but so far
have only found one empirical biomechanical study which addresses this problem
in depth:
A. Marsk, Studies on weight-distribution upon the lower extremities in
individuals working in a standing position. Acta Orthop. Scandinavica Suppl.
31 (1958).
Further suggestions gratefully received - please post to my personal e-mail
address and I'll summarize responses to the list at a future date.
Thank you.
