ABSTRACT

Multisegmented foot models (MSFMs) capture kinematic and kinetic data of specific regions of the foot instead of representing the foot as a single, rigid segment. Models differ by the number of segments and segment definitions, so there is no consensus for best practice. It is unknown whether MSFMs yield the same joint kinematic and kinetic data and what level of detail is necessary to accurately measure such values. We compared the angle, moment, and power measurements at the tibiotalar, midtarsal, and metatarsophalangeal joints of four MSFMs using motion capture data of young adult runners during stance phase of barefoot walking and jogging. Of these models, three were validated: Oxford Foot Model, Milwaukee Foot Model, and Ghent Foot Model. One model was developed based upon literature review of existing models: the "Vogel" model. We performed statistical parametric mapping comparing joint measurements from each model to the corresponding results from the Oxford Model, the most heavily studied MSFM. We found that the Oxford Foot Model, Milwaukee Foot Model, Vogel Foot Model, and Ghent Foot Model do not provide the same results. The changes in model segment definitions impact the degrees of freedom in ways that alter the measured kinematic function of the foot, which in turn impacts the kinetic results. We also found that dynamic function of the midfoot/arch may be better captured by MSFMs with a separate midfoot segment. The results of this study capture the variability in performance of MSFMs and indicate a need to standardize the design of MSFMs.
