    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Orthopedics
    • Clinical assessment

    Background:

    • Foot movement analysis is crucial for diagnosing and managing musculoskeletal conditions.
    • Current methods for assessing foot biomechanics in clinical settings can be complex or time-consuming.
    • Understanding the subtalar joint's role in overall foot function is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel, clinically applicable method for assessing foot movement.
    • To quantify the horizontal plane component of foot motion.
    • To focus on calcaneal rotation about the subtalar joint axis.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a new assessment technique for foot mobility.
    • Focus on the rotational movement of the calcaneum (heel bone).
    • Measurement of movement specifically around the subtalar joint axis in the horizontal plane.

    Main Results:

    • A practical method for assessing a key component of foot movement has been established.
    • The technique allows for the evaluation of calcaneal rotation.
    • The assessment is designed for straightforward implementation in clinical practice.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented method offers a valuable tool for clinicians to assess foot biomechanics.
    • This technique provides objective data on subtalar joint-related foot movement.
    • Improved clinical assessment of foot function can aid in patient diagnosis and treatment planning.
