Abstract :
A four-segment kinetic model of the foot and ankle was developed for use with existing kinematic motion analysis equipment. That system is capable of describing the kinematic behavior of the foot and ankle during stance and swing phases of gait. Preliminary results indicate that the enhanced kinetic model is suitable for further implementation. Sagittal plane data is compared to published data from other whole body motion analysis studies
