Measurement of functional heel pad behaviour in-shoe during gait using orthotic embedded ultrasonography

Highlights • We embed an ultrasound transducer within a 3D printed orthotic device. • The functional behaviour of the heel pad is measured in-shoe during gait. • A contoured heel cup is shown to reduce compression of the heel pad during gait.
