International Foot and Ankle Biomechanics Community (i-FAB): past, present and beyond
نویسندگان
چکیده
The International Foot and Ankle Biomechanics Community (i-FAB) is an international collaborative activity which will have an important impact on the foot and ankle biomechanics community. It was launched on July 2nd 2007 at the foot and ankle session of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) meeting in Taipei, Taiwan. i-FAB is driven by the desire to improve our understanding of foot and ankle biomechanics as it applies to health, disease, and the design, development and evaluation of foot and ankle surgery, and interventions such as footwear, insoles and surfaces.

متن کاملThe legacy of Alex Stacoff for foot and footwear biomechanics research
Alex Stacoff was a Swiss biomechanics researcher and a key member of the small group of scientists who founded the International Foot and Ankle Biomechanics Community (i-FAB) in 2007. He was an active participant at the first i-FAB Congress in September 2008, but he died tragically while running, only three weeks later, at the young age of 58 years. The fact that a flourishing i-FAB is now hold...
متن کاملThe mutual effect of navicular drop and the type of foot covering on the contact forces of ankle and knee joints during running
Introduction: One of the best interventions in the field of reducing injury and improving performance is running shoes. Despite this, the research results show that achieving the desired result due to using shoes depends on paying attention to other influencing factors such as foot structure. Therefore, the present study was carried out with the aim of investigating the mutual effect of navicul...
متن کامل4th congress of the international foot and ankle biomechanics community.
Too many times theories of how the human foot functions and therefore how mechanically inducted foot problems are treated have been presented as if they were facts. The dogmatic adherence that sometimes ensues from such an approach has frequently stifled the evolution of foot mechanics. This has been particularly apparent in the field of podiatry which has been dominated by the Root paradigm. B...
