Overview of process steps. a Construct 3D skeletal model by segmenting CT images in Mimics software. b Construct cartilage and ligament model. c Import 3D foot model (bony structures, soft tissues, and ground) into Hypermesh software. d Plantar pressure measurement in Footwork Pro® plantar pressure plate system. e Apply boundary conditions and loading to the model. f Run the model and compare the plantar pressure results from the finite element simulation with the results from the test
