All, There are several studies which have looked at the stiffness of the fat pad beneath the heel, yet they all seem to pick a spot beneath the heel and measure the load/ deformation characteristics at this point. Are there any studies which have actually measured variation in the stiffness of the heels fat pad from lateral to medial? If the fat pad varies in thickness (does it?) then it should be stiffest where it is thinnest (assuming it’s relatively homogenous- is it?) is it thinner under the medial tubercle of the calcaneus
