| Descripció: | Gait analysis is presently a common and useful tool for both biomechanical research and
clinical practice. A lot of studies have developed multi-segment foot models in order to
characterize foot kinematics. However, very few studies deal with dynamic analysis and no
validation has yet been done. The present study proposes a multi-segment foot model that
allows assessment of movements and mechanical actions within the foot.
The instrumentation consists in a Motion Analysis® System with eight Eagle® cameras and
two Bertec® forceplates. One RsScan® baropodometric plate is also used. Ten healthy
people are involved in this study. For each subject, ten gait trials are collected combining
kinematic, dynamic and baropodometric information. An original method of external actions
distribution based on Coulomb’s laws will be used for inverse dynamics computation.
The results are consistent with literature data and additional information (joint angles and
joint moments) is available with the present study. Future works involving more subjects will
provide the statistical analysis required to assess the detection of pathologic cases. |
