Proposal of multisegment foot model for gait analysis

Abstract:

A new protocol for gait analysis based on multi-segment model of foot was developed. The geometry of the foot is divided in two segments, the rearfoot and forefoot, instead of the standard one-segment model used in gait analysis systems. This model will provide additional information for clinical diagnosis within lower extremities pathologies. This protocol was implemented in the Orthopedic Children Hospital (Caracas-Venezuela) and does not affect the standard procedure, despite additional kinematic parameters to be included. The results are very promising, based on graphic representation of the kinematic parameters during gait motion.
