Investigation Into Plantar Fascia Contribution to Gait Mechanics Using Robotic and Simulation Approaches

The plantar fascia (PF) plays a critical role in human locomotion by dynamically adjusting foot stiffness and enhancing energy efficiency through the windlass mechanism. This study investigates the trade-offs associated with altered PF mechanical properties using bipedal experiments and simulation m...
