IORFoot Tutorial Angles

Introduction

The IOR Foot analysis uses joint angles and planar angles to describe the motion of the foot.

The IOR Foot analysis has been described in the paper:

Leardini, A., M.G. Benedetti, L. Berti, D. Bettinelli, R. Nativo, and S. Giannini. "Rear-foot, Mid-foot and Fore-foot Motion during the Stance Phase of Gait." Gait & Posture 25 (2007): 453-55

Modifications to the IOR Foot Analysis are described in the paper:

Portinaro, N., A. Leardini, A. Panou, V. Monzani, and P. Caravaggi. "Modifying the Rizzoli foot model to improve the diagnosis of pes-planus: application to kinematics of feet in teenagers." Journal of Foot and Ankle Research (2014)

This tutorial describes the original analysis with all modifications from the 2014 paper.

The 2007 paper is described here.

Modifications

Three modifications were made between the first and second papers. These modifications are outlined below.

Mod 1: Hallux

Previously, varus & dorsiflexion at the first metatarso-phalangeal joint were represented by planar angles (F2Pt and F2Ps).

The 2014 paper creates a hallux segment and calculates the F2Pt and F2Ps angles as joint angles between the Hallux & Metatarsus segments.

Mod 2: Calcaneus

The original paper only contained one target on the posterior calcaneus. The 2014 modifications contain two targets on the posterior calcaneus.

The 2007 paper described the CA target as the:

CA - upper central ridge of the calcaneus posterior surface, i.e. Achilles' tendon attachment

The 2014 paper described the HL target as the:

HL - most distal point of attachment area of the Achilles tendon on the calcaneus

The CA target will be referred to as the FCP (calcaneus proximal - the proximal attachement of the tendon) for the remainder of this tutorial.

The HL target will be referred to as the FCD (calcaneus distal - FCC [pg. 162]) for the remainder of this tutorial.

The FCP target will be used to indicate the origin of the calcaneus segment, and the orientation of the FCP/FCD targets will be used to indicate inversion/eversion of the calcaneus (Sha_Cal_Fro Angle). When placing these targets, make sure there is enough distance between them so that your camera system can recognize them as two separate targets.

The FCD target should be removed after the static trial.

Mod 3: MLA Angle

Previously, the MLA angle was calculated using the CA target.

The 2014 paper projects the FCP target onto the ground during the static trial (FCP_proj), and tracks this projection using the calcaneus segment (FCP_proj_track).

Target Placement

The following text contains a detailed explanation of how to palpate the necessary bony landmarks:

Serge van Sint Jan "Color Atlas of Skeletal Landmark Definitions: Guidelines for Reproducible Manual and Virtual Palpations" 2007 - Churchill Livingstone

CA (FCP)  : p. 162 = Proximal posterior Surface of Calcaneus. *

HL (FCD)  : p. 162 = Distal attachment of the Achilles' tendon. *

Segment Definition: The origin is at the FCP target. The A/P (X) axis is along the line from the FCP to RFT_DIST landmark. The sagittal (Z) axis is along the plane defined by the FCP, FMH and VMH targets. This foot segment should be set to "kinematic only" since the origin is not at the point of rotation (the mid point of the RIMM & RLM targets. The IORFoot analysis does not calculate kinetics, so no kinetic foot segment is described in this model. To create gait events, you will need a kinetic foot segment. An example of a kinetic foot segment is created in the sample download files for this tutorial.
