Technique to study the biomechanical properties of the human calcaneal heel pad

The biomechanical properties of the human heel pad can reveal their health condition. For example, diabetic patients may suffer from observable change in heel pad biomechanical properties and subsequently result in foot ulceration, and patients with plantar heel pain may present with stiffer heel pa...
