Abstract :
Normal foot and ankle motion has been quantitatively characterized using motion analysis method. A series of patients with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction have been evaluated, analyzed and compared to a database of normals using a dynamic foot and ankle motion analysis technique. The results can be used to confirm what is seen clinically as well as to evaluate the biomechanical consequences of both surgical and nonsurgical treatment
