Analysis of the hindfoot and tibia segment-based axes in the Oxford Foot Model - anatomy and accuracy

Thesis

The Oxford Foot Model (OFM) is a multi-segment foot model, which consists of three rigid segments (tibia, hindfoot and forefoot). The segments are defined by surface markers placed on bony landmarks on the foot and leg. The accuracy of the OFM angle calculations depends on how the markers and segment axes relate to the underlying anatomy. Several previous studies have reported particularly large variability in the hindfoot-tibia rotation and this finding has made gait data interpretation and,...
