Foot pressure ulcers (PU) mainly result from excessive pressure intensity (internal strains above 50% for about 10 minutes) or prolonged compression (internal strains above 20% for about two hours) [1]. It is therefore crucial to monitor the internal strains using biomechanical models combined with skin surface pressure measurements to improve daily examination. This paper focuses on defining the regions with highest strains and analyzes the variations between patient morphologies.
