This study introduces a non-invasive stereophotogrammetry technique for detailed ankle and foot joint rotation analysis during walking. The method provides repeatable and consistent results for functional evaluation and clinical interpretation.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Gait Analysis
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Previous studies on foot joint rotations were limited in scope or invasive.
  • There is a clinical need for detailed, non-invasive protocols for foot joint rotation analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a non-invasive stereophotogrammetry technique for in vivo description of ankle and foot joint rotations.
  • To enable routine functional evaluation of foot joint kinematics.

Main Methods:

  • Tracking of tibia/fibula, calcaneus, mid-foot, 1st metatarsal, and hallux segments during walking stance phase.
  • Utilizing rigid clusters of reflective markers for segment pose estimation.
  • Applying anatomical landmark calibration for landmark reconstruction and defining anatomical coordinate frames.

Main Results:

  • The developed method demonstrated high repeatability of joint rotation patterns within subjects.
  • Consistent inter-subject patterns were observed across most foot joints.
  • Joint rotations were calculated in all three anatomical planes based on reconstructed landmark trajectories.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed technique allows for a detailed, anatomically-based description of foot and ankle joint rotations.
  • This method facilitates the use of established terminology for clinical interpretation of joint rotations.
  • The technique aids clinicians in distinguishing normal from pathological foot joint rotation patterns and assessing treatment outcomes.
