Abstract:
The objective of this article is to provide a brief overview of the critical analysis and design of unique and perhaps less common methodologies in podiatric science. These include basic science translational designs, cadaveric investigations, gait analyses, dermatologic studies, and database analysis. The relative advantages, disadvantages, and inherent limitations are reviewed with an intention to improve the interpretation of results and advance future foot and ankle scientific endeavors.
