Windlass mechanisms - plural - and diabetes

[Gerrard Farrell]

Ok ,so now I am a bit confused .The plantar fascia is thought to support the arches of the foot during loading of the foot . However there seems to be a disconnect between the ground reaction forces shown to exists during weight acceptance (force plates ) and strain calculated to exist in the plantar fascia ,using cadaveric studies or finite models (see above ) , during the same stage . In my opinion it would appear that the models /cadaveric studies are significantly flawed .

Any thoughts ?
