Finite element model?based evaluation of tissue stress variations to fabricate corrective orthosis in feet with neutral subtalar joint Sathish Paul et al Prosthet Orthot Int March 15, 2016 Quote: Background: The subtalar joint position during static stance is a crucial determinant of the peak plantar pressures and forms ideal reference point for any intervention in foot-related problems for leprosy-affected patients. Objectives: The study pursued the hypothesis through a three-dimensional model that stress will be minimal in the distal joints of the foot when the subtalar joint is in neutral static stance position
