Abstract
The human heel pad is a complex structure that features non-linear visco-elastic characteristics
as the majority of the human soft tissues. The biomechanical aspects of the heel pad are still under
investigation and the influence of subject factors such as age, weight, gender, height, race, and body activity
have been reported. The aim of this paper is to study the literature in order to identify the influence of
subject factors and diseases on the heel pad compressibility index.
