Pressure on the foot is generally unavoidable and it can vary from a sensation of touch to discomfort to pain. While the sensation of touch provides the necessary sensory feedback for balance and locomotion, discomfort and pain from pressure warn the human body of potentially damaging situations. This book incorporates cutting-edge methodologies for measuring and modeling human perception when pressure is applied on the foot, with special emphasis on pressure thresholds and their relationships with the stimulus characteristics and mechanical properties of foot tissue.

Produktbeschreibung
Pressure on the foot is generally unavoidable and it
can vary from a sensation of touch to discomfort to
pain. While the sensation of touch provides the
necessary sensory feedback for balance and
locomotion, discomfort and pain from pressure warn
the human body of potentially damaging situations.
This book incorporates cutting-edge methodologies
for measuring and modeling human perception when
pressure is applied on the foot, with special
emphasis on pressure thresholds and their
relationships with the stimulus characteristics and
mechanical properties of foot tissue. This book also
provides some insights about human perception of
discomfort and pain. It should help researchers and
clinical practitioners with an increased
understanding of human perception of pressure on the
foot. It can also help footwear designers
distinguish sensitive foot locations under pressure
and then design tissue-compliant footwear products.
Furthermore, the invention of automated tissue
tester could be used in many clinical practices such
as objective evaluating pain treatment, documenting
tissue compliance.
