Abstract

This study focused on the development on functional shoe apparatus so that the appropriate impact can be applied to the feet in order to improve the density of mineral bone at lower limbs. The model with structure proposed in this study had an effective stress about 20 to 100% higher by comparing that of the model without it among most of 15 bone extraction points. Though there is a limitation that the finite element analysis data from the human body model are not the value of mineral bone densities by measuring directly but the effective bone stresses against impact, the proposed structure is designed to influence the increase of bone mass and improve the density of mineral bone by effecting the improvement of the density of mineral bone actually.
