- This study presented, for the first time, a method for differentiating between elastic and viscous properties of plantar soft tissue. This is significant for assessing the viability and vitality of soft tissue which is critical for managing and treating soft tissue damage such as diabetic foot ulcers. The work was subsequently presented at the 25th International Society of Biomechanics Congress (Glasgow, 2015) leading to further international work with countries such as Peru, Colombia, Morocco, Spain and France in the STANDUP project that was funded by the European Commission under Marie Skłodowska-Curie - Horizon 2020 - MSCA-RISE-2017 (https://www.standupproject.eu/).
