2C14 The Analyses of the Strength and Fracture in the Human Metatarsals Based on CT Image

Abstract

At the present time, a safety criterion for human support robot has not been established in spite of the fact that it will be doubtless widespread due to decreasing birthrate and aging of the population in Japan, Under this situation, an attempt is made to estimate the strength and fracture in the human metatarsals by conducting the simulation of human-robot interactions and modeling the human foot on the basis of CT images. This result will contribute to the realization of high accuracy in the prediction of injury risk due to human and robot interactions.
