This study presents a novel table-mounted goniometric device for accurately measuring forefoot alignment. This tool enhances the evaluation process for orthotic treatment, improving clinical decision-making in foot correction.

Area of Science:

  • Podiatry
  • Biomechanics
  • Orthotics

Background:

  • Accurate forefoot-to-hindfoot alignment measurement is crucial for orthotic treatment.
  • Current methods for assessing forefoot alignment can lack reliability and simplicity.
  • Evaluating alignment is key for effective orthotic correction of the foot.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel table-mounted goniometric device.
  • To enhance the reliability and simplicity of measuring forefoot alignment.
  • To aid clinicians in evaluating the need for orthotic treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Description of a newly developed table-mounted goniometric device.
  • Provision of construction instructions for the device.
  • Focus on improving intra-rater reliability in measurements.
