How to run on rough terrains
Nihav Dhawale, Shreyas Mandre, Madhusudhan Venkadesan
Stability of running on rough terrain depends on the propagation of perturbations due to the ground. We consider stability within the sagittal plane and model the dynamics of runni…
Transverse contributions to the longitudinal stiffness of the human foot
Ali Yawar, Lucia Korpas, Shreyas Mandre +1
Humans rely on foot stiffness to withstand the propulsive forces of walking and running. Skeletal adaptations that increase foot stiffness include the medial longitudinal arch (MLA…
Stiffness of the human foot and evolution of the transverse arch
Madhusudhan Venkadesan, Marcelo A. Dias, Dhiraj K. Singh +2
Foot stiffness underlies its mechanical function, and is central to the evolution of human bipedal locomotion. The stiff and propulsive human foot has two distinct arches, the long…
