Experimental Analysis of Plantar Fascia Mechanical Properties in Subjects with Foot Pathologies

Plantar Fascia (PF) is a fibrous tissue that plays a key role in supporting the foot arch; it can be affected by several pathologies that can alter foot biomechanics. The present study aims at investigating the mechanical behavior of PF and evaluating possible correlations between mechanical propert...
