Numerical evaluations of different foot arch types: effects of loading on plantar pressure distribution and bone stress
2025
This study aimed to investigate the biomechanical variations among different types of footarches. Plantar pressure and foot bone stress of three arch types under bipedal standing, singlefoot standing and running mid-stance were investigated by simulation. Compared with the nor-mal foot, the stress in the hind foot area of high arch foot increased significantly, while the […]
Utilising finite element analysis to evaluate gore design in bras
2025
In the early stage of bra pattern making, the gore size is an important design feature to provide different effects such as enhancing the shape of the breasts and the depth of the cleavage, as well as affecting the fitting issue. However, the shaping effects in controlling the breast shape of the gore size have […]
A novel deep learning approach to classify 3D foot types of diabetic patients
2025
Diabetes mellitus is a worldwide epidemic that leads to significant changes in foot shape, deformities, and ulcers. Precise classification of diabetic foot not only helps identify foot abnormalities but also facilitates personalized treatment and preventive measures through the engineering design of foot orthoses. In this study, we propose a novel deep learning method based on […]
Pressure and Thermal Behavior of Elastic Polyurethane and Polyamide Knitted Fabrics for Compression Textiles
2025
Compression stockings have long been manufactured in a single color without patterns, but enhancing their aesthetic appeal through knitted designs can improve user compliance. This study explores the potential of punch lace knitted structures to create patterns in compression textiles by seamless knitting technology while maintaining sufficient pressure. The effects of yarn material, number of […]
Numerical evaluations of different foot archtypes: effects of loading on plantar pressuredistribution and bone stress
2025
This study aimed to investigate the biomechanical variations among different types of foot arches. Plantar pressure and foot bone stress of three arch types under bipedal standing, single foot standing and running mid-stance were investigated by simulation. Compared with the normal foot, the stress in the hind foot area of high arch foot increased significantly, […]
Cushioning Performance of Specialized Running Socks for Enhanced Shock Absorption and Reduced Plantar Pressure
2025
Running socks play an important role in alleviating foot impact and preventing foot injuries. Despite the variety of commercial options, their cushioning effectiveness is not well understood. This study examines three different types of running socks made of bio-based and synthetic textiles. Material testing includes compression, tensile, and shock absorption, while wear tests assess plantar […]
