Abstract

Knowledge of the natural range of motion of individual skeletal segments in
the foot during running is necessary for the construction of appropriate stability
parameters in athletic footwear. Globally restricting intrinsic motion of the foot
may result in non-physiological stresses on specific foot bones or at more
proximal sites such as the ankle ligaments. This study presents data on relative
three-dimensional motion of individual foot segments, measured in vive with
the use of reflective marker arrays attached to intracortical pins inserted in the
tibia, talus, calcaneus, cuboid and navicular under local anaesthetic. Data were
collected using a 10-camera optoelectric system (Qualysis, Sweden). Mean
data for one subject (9 overground barefoot running trials, mean velocity: 2.2
m/s) are presented in table 1. The trials were reproducible (maximum 95% CI
across all parameters: 2.3°).
