Measuring foot and ankle kinematics using a bi-plane fluoroscopic system
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Accurate measurements of skeletal kinematics of the foot would increase our understanding on the interaction between foot and footwear. Previously foot kinematics was measured using reflective markers but the method had inherent limitation of skin marker-based methods. Recently fluoroscopic imaging-based methods has been developed and widely used to measure knee kinematics [1,2]. We have made a bi-plane fluoroscopic imaging system and a walkway where continuous foot X-ray images could be taken during walking. The objective of the study was to understand the possibility of bi-plane fluoroscopic system for measuring foot and ankle kinematics.

Validation of a voxel-based 2D to 3D registration method for measuring 3D natural ankle kinematics with single plane fluoroscopy
Introduction In vivo three-dimensional (3D) kinematics of the ankle joint is essential for a better understanding of its biomechanics and for many clinical applications. Several measurement techniques are available for this data, but few allow non-invasive measurements with sub-millimetre accuracy. The purposes of the study were to develop further a voxel-based 2D to 3D registration method [1] ...
متن کاملStatic examination of the range of ankle joint dorsiflexion is not related to dynamic foot kinematics
Materials and method The static range of ankle joint dorsiflexion was measured with the knee flexed and extended (n=100). Dynamic foot kinematics were measured for the tibia, calcaneus, midfoot, lateral forefoot, medial forefoot and hallux, and 13 parameters derived to characterise foot kinematics (right foot only). The relationship between static range of ankle joint dorsiflexion and sagittal ...

BACKGROUND To determine the behaviour of the human foot during in vivo loading and unloading. METHODS Fluoroscopic imaging was used to investigate the movement of the bones and 13 skin markers during loading and unloading for the medial aspect of the left foot. A foot-pressure measuring system was compared with a force plate used to gather kinetic information, simultaneously. Four male and tw...
متن کاملThe Glasgow-Maastricht foot model, evaluation of a 26 segment kinematic model of the foot
BACKGROUND Accurately measuring of intrinsic foot kinematics using skin mounted markers is difficult, limited in part by the physical dimensions of the foot. Existing kinematic foot models solve this problem by combining multiple bones into idealized rigid segments. This study presents a novel foot model that allows the motion of the 26 bones to be individually estimated via a combination of pa...
متن کاملThe kinematics of the lower leg in the sagittal plane during downward squatting in persons with pronated feet
[Purpose] This study aimed to examine changes in lower extremity kinematics in the sagittal plane during downward squatting by subjects with pronated feet. [Subjects and Methods] This study selected 10 subjects each with normal and pronated feet using a navicular drop test. The subjects performed downward squatting, in which the knee joints flex 90° in a standing position. We recorded the angle...
