  • lower extremity visualization material

    I am new to Biomch-l and would like to apologize in advance for any
    blunders I commit. I am a masters student at the U of Calgary (Industrial
    design) doing my thesis on outdoor footwear. I am not totaly uninformed on
    the subject of biomechanics (BPe-now Kinesiology-@ U of C). I am searching
    for visualization material on the foot and lower leg in order to
    generate & inform design concepts (form-follows-form) and to create my own
    visual communication material to discuss ideas with advisors(informed
    experts and laymen) and for presentations. To date I have been using
    Salathe's "A biomechanical model of the foot"(1986), Winter and Scotts's
    "Biomechanical model of the human foot: kinematic and kinetics during the
    stance phase of walking"(1993), Distefano's "Anatomy and biomechanics of
    the ankle and foot"(1980), Morlocks Ph.D thesis (1989) as well as "Inman's
    Joints of the Ankle", Donatelli's "The Biomechanics of the Foot and Ankle"
    and so on. I am aware of, but at this time unable to get my hands on
    "Kinetic, biomechanical model of the
    foot and ankle" (Abbuzzahab et al, 1994) in Proceedings of the 16th annual
    international conference of the IEEE engineering in medicine and biology
    society, and many other sources that sound interesting.
    I have been following the discusion on Biomch-l for the past few weeks and
    it appears that many are interested in obtaining or creating dynamic 3-d
    analysis software, 3-d kinetic analysis of human movement, computer
    assisted biomechanical instuctional material in multimedia and/or hypermedia
    or papers on simialr subjects. I am wondering if any good visualization
    material exists now that is in this vein. If I could aks those on the
    list who would give their opinions I will ask "Is there a model or models
    of the lower extremity that you feel is acurate in its form and is visualy
    informative (papers, 3-d models [mechanimcal, computer,{please not
    mathematical}] etc.) ". I will post a summary (if you want your opinion
    shared) and I thank all who respond in advance.
    Regards,
    Darren Jakal
