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
