Longitudinal Arch Angle (LAA): Inter-rater reliability comparing Relaxed Calcaneal Stance with Toe Off

摘要

Additionally McPoil et al studied the relationship of the static biomechanical examination values in relation to calcaneal eversion angles taken in gait as measured with a motion analysis system and found that the values measuted in the static biomechanical examination proposed by Root et al did not correlate with dynamic foot function [3]. Measurements of Radiographs have also been used to evaluate the foot biomechanically but these images are taken with the foot in angle and base of gait with the foot in its relaxed calcaneal stance posture [4]. They therefore may give the clinician information on the extent of over pronation that is possible when the foot fully collapses but tell us nothing about the corrected posture.
