Popis: It has been well studied that foot-ankle biomechanics plays an important role in body locomotion but still be far from well understanding, to some extent for lack of various biomechanical response information under physiological conditions. In this paper, seven unembalmed cadaver feet were loaded under controlled conditions simulating body weight, and biomechanical responses in multi-fields, such as displacement, strain and plantar pressure, were measured with material test machine, digital speckle correlation method (DSCM) measurement system, resistance strain gauge and F-Scan plantar pressure analysis system. Data gained from such multifields experimental measurement were precise and results were interpreted well. This research is aimed at fostering foot-ankle biomechanics well understanding and promoting further research with reasonable and comprehensive analysis.
