Foot motion in children and adults

Introduction When studying the function of the human foot, foot pressure measurements offer some insight into the biomechanics of the growing foot [1] and models have been proposed to measure the foot kinematics especially of children [2]. Aside from ankle kinematics however [3], little is known about differences in foot motion between children and adults. This ongoing study therefore examines the foot kinematics of normal subjects in a large age range.
