متن کاملA MR imaging procedure to investigate tarsal bone mechanics
In the current work, a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging procedure to evaluate quasi-static motion of the calcaneus, cuboid, navicular, and talus is presented. It is focused on the applicability of a newly developed foot loading and positioning device. For that purpose, tarsal bone positions of three healthy subjects in a pronated and a supinated foot excursion under bodyweight were repeatedly me...
