Correlation between plantar pressure and Oxford Foot Model kinematics

Abstract

Plantar pressure measurements and multi-segment foot model kinematics are used in clinical gait analysis to assist in the objective measurement of dynamic foot deformity. The aim of this study was to correlate the findings of pressure measurements with Oxford Foot Model (OFM) kinematics [1] to provide a comprehensive assessment of foot deformity. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Correlating multi-dimensional foot kinematics with plantar pressure measurements enables advanced understanding of dynamic foot deformity and its effects on forces under the foot. It provides information on primary and secondary deformities and guides clinical management.
