Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Currently, the material parameters of foot three-dimensional finite element models are almost all from abroad, which have no reports in China.
OBJECTIVE: To preliminarily measure the parameters of foot muscle and tendon materials in Chinese people.
METHODS: The dissection of flexor pollicis longus tendon and flexor pollicis brevis muscle and the medial and lateral heads, extensor hallucis longus muscle and tendon and the transverse head of adductor pollicis muscle and the oblique head, abductor pollicis brevis from the left leg and foot of fresh female specimens was performed. The cross-sectional area and length located in a fixture were measured and calculated for each sample. Sample loading was done, and one sample was measured four times to gather strength limit, maximum load data, and the load displacement curve. According to Hooke’s law, the elastic modulus of each specimen was calculated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Relevant measurement data were harvested from nine samples, including the extensor hallucis longus, flexor pollicis longus, adductor muscle and abductor hallucis muscle cross head and oblique head, medial and lateral head of flexor pollicis brevis muscle and flexor hallucis longus tendon and the extensor hallucis longus tendon. These parameters included length, width, thickness, cross-sectional area, maximum loading, ultimate strength and elastic modulus test.
