Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Anthropometry
  • Footwear Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate foot dimension data is crucial for footwear design and clinical applications.
  • Existing measurement methods for foot dimensions present accuracy challenges.
  • This study evaluates the precision and accuracy of 3D foot scanning against conventional methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the precision and accuracy of 3D foot scanning with digital calipers, ink footprints, and digital footprints.
  • To assess the influence of sex and measurement method on foot dimension measurements.
  • To determine the suitability of 3D foot scanning for anthropometric data collection.

Main Methods:

  • Measured six key foot dimensions (e.g., foot length, heel breadth) in 130 participants using four methods.
  • Employed two-way ANOVA to analyze sex and method effects.
  • Utilized mean absolute difference and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) for precision and accuracy evaluation, referencing ISO 20685 criteria.

Main Results:

  • Both participant sex and measurement method significantly impacted the six foot dimensions (p < 0.05).
  • 3D scanning demonstrated the highest precision (mean absolute difference: 0.73–1.50 mm) and generally better accuracy, except for specific dimensions.
  • Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) ranged from 0.61 to 0.98 across all methods and dimensions.

Conclusions:

  • 3D foot scanning is recommended for its superior precision, accuracy, and robustness in collecting foot anthropometric data.
  • Differences in measurement methods significantly affect anthropometric data, necessitating careful consideration when comparing datasets.
  • The findings support the use of 3D scanners for reliable foot dimension analysis in various applications.
