The Foot's Arch and the Energetics of Human Locomotion

The Foot's Arch and the Energetics of Human Locomotion

The energy-sparing spring theory of the foot's arch has become central to interpretations of the foot's mechanical function and evolution. Using a novel insole technique that restricted compression of the foot's longitudinal arch, this study provides the first direct evidence that arc...
