Validation of a Multi-Segment Foot and Ankle Kinematic Model for Pediatric Gait

Abstract

This paper quantifies the system characteristics for a pediatric foot and ankle biomechanical model. While orientated along the Z-axis the static system resolution is computed at 0,32 + 0,29 mm with 99,9% accuracy Dynamic resolution and accuracy are 0,43 + 0,39 mm and 99,8%, respectively Angular dynamic resolution computes to 0,52 + 3,36 degrees at 99,6% accuracy. These calculations are comparable to the Milwaukee adult foot and ankle model.
