ABSTRACT

Over the past two decades, a number of multisegmental foot models have been developed in order to characterize foot kinematics. This paper reviews methods of multisegmental foot modeling, technical elements of the models, select clinical applications of the models, and future directions in this area of research. Technical areas discussed include angular derotation mechanisms and capture technology. Models discussed address two-, three-, four-, five-, and nine-segment approaches. Additional models which address foot segments using other definitions, are also discussed. Clinical applications of multisegmental foot models include pathologic gait characterization in rheumatoid arthritis, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, and hallux rigidus. Areas of continued development, including soft tissue artifact and nomenclature, are also discussed.
