Relation between navicular mobility and multi-segment foot kinematics during walking

摘要

Having its roots in the domain of clinical evaluation of the foot, navicular mobility in terms of cranial-caudal (NCC) and medio-lateral (NML) displacement of the navicular tuberosity is thought to be a representative measure of foot pronation [1,2]. These parameters can relatively easy be assessed in practice compared to multi-segment foot kinematics, whose measurement is more complex and time-consuming and which require dedicated motion capture infrastructure. Up to date, the evidence if and how NCC and NML are systematically associated to multi-segment foot kinematics is poor.
