This study explored how systematic changes in running shoe degradation and foot inversion alter the distribution and peak value of heel pressure and calcaneus stress, as well as the total stress-concentration exposure (TSCE) within the calcaneal bone. A foot-shoe finite element model was employed and three shoe wear conditions (new shoe (CON), moderate worn shoe (MWSC), excessive worn shoe (EWSC)) coupled with three foot inversion angles (0°, 10°, 20°) were further modulated. Simulations were conducted at the impact peak instant during running.

Purpose: Simulation studies, such as finite element (FE) modeling, offer insights into knee joint biomechanics, which may not be achieved through experimental methods without direct involvement of patients. While generic FE models have been used to predict tissue biomechanics, they overlook variations in population-specific geometry, loading, and material properties. In contrast, subject-specific models account for these factors, delivering enhanced predictive precision but requiring significant effort and time for development.

Subject-specific finite element models of knee joint contact mechanics are used in assessment of interventions and disease states. Cartilage thickness distribution is one factor influencing the distribution of pressure. Precision of cartilage geometry capture varies between imaging protocols.

The treatment of Achilles tendinopathy is challenging, as 40% of patients do not respond to existing rehabilitation protocols. These protocols neglect individual Achilles tendon (AT) characteristics, which are crucial for healing of the tendon tissue. Although prior studies suggest an optimal strain for AT regeneration (6% tendon strains), it is unclear if current protocols meet this condition.

Subject-specific finite element (FE) modeling of the mandible bone has recently gained attention for its higher accuracy. A critical modeling factor is including personalized material properties from medical images especially when bone quality has to be respected. However, there is no consensus on the material model for the mandible that realistically estimates the Young's modulus of the bone.
