i-FAB mission
i-FAB is driven by the desire to improve our understanding of foot
and ankle biomechanics as it applies to health, disease, and the
design, development and evaluation of foot and ankle surgery, and
interventions such as footwear, insoles and surfaces.
i-FAB activities will seek to enable more effective approaches
to researching the foot and ankle, accelerate our ability to address
the unique challenges the foot and ankle poses for biomechanics
researchers and research users, and foster seamless activities between
researchers and research users.
Specific objectives are to:
• Increase the profile of foot and ankle biomechanics research
within academic, clinical and industry communities
• Promote the value of foot and ankle biomechanics research to research
users (industry and clinical communities)
• Develop a co-ordinated approach to addressing the challenges which
experimental and computational biomechanics of the foot and ankle
poses.
• Enable better co-ordination of multidisciplinary research
• Enable more effective co-ordination of foot and ankle biomechanics
research between groups in different countries
