3D Multisegment Foot Model Used for the Clinical Outcome After Ankle and Hindfoot Reconstruction

The Relevance of a 3D Multisegment Foot Model in Predicting and Determining the Clinical Outcome After Ankle and Hindfoot Reconstruction Procedures


Sponsor

Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven

Enrollment

300 participants

Start Date

Mar 1, 2013

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Most symptomatic pathologies of the ankle and hindfoot are determined by biomechanical alterations of this anatomical region. Surgical treatment of these pathologies is therefore aimed at improving the inferior biomechanical condition, and it can be expected that an improvement of the biomechanical parameters grossly parallels the targeted clinical improvement. 3D Multisegment Foot Models have been developed and validated to determine the clinical outcome. Such a validated 3D Multisegment Foot Model is now standard available in the gaitlab of UZ Leuven making it possible to study a huge amount of biomechanical parameters within the foot \& ankle region itself.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria5

  • Being routinely scheduled for a reconstructive surgical procedure for the following indications or involving the following type of procedure:
  • Any reconstructive procedure for Pes Planus, Pes Plano-valgus, or Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction
  • Tibio-talar arthrodesis or prosthesis
  • Sub-talar -and/or (partial) Chopart - and/or Triple arthrodesis
  • Pantalar arthrodesis with or without inclusion of the Chopart joint

Exclusion Criteria6

  • Age under 18
  • Need of tools (eg walker or crutches) to walk less than 100m
  • Inability to walk less than 100 m anyway
  • Differences in leg length exceeding 3 cm (measured clinically)
  • Extreme in-or outtoeing
  • Subjects with BMI \> 27.5 require very careful further consideration whether or not the obesity prevents the accurate palpation of anatomical landmarks necessary prior to marker placement. This will be judged on an individual basis.
