A four-segment kinetic model of the foot and ankle was developed for use with existing kinematic motion analysis equipment. That system is capable of describing the kinematic behavior of the foot and ankle during stance and swing phases of gait. Preliminary results indicate that the enhanced kinetic model is suitable for further implementation. Sagittal plane data is compared to published data from other whole body motion analysis studies.<<ETX>>

The purpose of this work was to develop a system to analyze dynamic foot and ankle motion in three dimensions. A unique marker set was developed and tested in conjunction with a corresponding reference frame. The system employs VAX Station 3100 and VICON based motion analysis technology.

Video motion analysis systems have been successfully employed in the study of whole body gait and have proven their value in clinical applications [4]. Similar usefulness could be found in the study and diagnosis of many foot and ankle disorders [1].

A kinetic, biomechanical model of the foot and ankle during the stance phase of gait was developed based on a previously described four-segment kinematic model. Moments were calculated at the first metatarsophalangeal (1MTP), talonavicular (TV), subtalar (SUBT) and talocrural (ANKL) joints. The 1MTP, SUBT and ANKL were modelled as revolute joints while the TV was modelled as a ball-and-socket. Eight subjects were tested and their computed moments were normalized and averaged. Range of average moments were: 1MTP (-0.03 to 0.53), TVx (-0.15 to 3.30), TVy (-0.15 to 4.24), TVz (-1.83 to 0.47), SUBT (-0.43 to 3.89) and -1.00 to 7.26 at ANKL.

A series of studies is presented in which the overall goal of quantitative biomechanical assessment is to improve treatment. Included in the studies are descriptions of the biomechanical questions to be answered, instrumentation used to acquire the data and results of the clinical studies. The projects address the rehabilitative and post-surgical progress of children and adolescents with spastic cerebral palsy. A new motion analysis system designed to quantify foot and ankle kinematics is also presented.<<ETX>>
