Estimation of ankle joint parameters in typically developed adults using functional calibration methods

Background - Despite of many attempts to determine or correct hip and knee joint parameters via non-invasive techniques such as regression or functional methods, in conventional gait models the position of the ankle joint center still is assumed at the center point between malleoli. - Research quest...

Zusammenfassung:Background - Despite of many attempts to determine or correct hip and knee joint parameters via non-invasive techniques such as regression or functional methods, in conventional gait models the position of the ankle joint center still is assumed at the center point between malleoli. - Research question - The aim of this study was to estimate the ankle joint parameters using a functional approach. - Methods - To this aim, we used data of 23 typically developed adults performing two different calibration motions. Subsequently, we applied functional approaches to determine the functional joint center and axis. - Results - The results show significant differences for ankle joint parameters in all directions for both calibration motions applied with respect to the malleoli line. Most prominently, we find a shift of the ankle joint center of 7 % of the foot length anteriorly to the malleoli mid-point when applying functional calibration. - Conclusion - These significant alterations of the ankle joint center and axis indicate the importance of accurate determination of ankle joint parameters and consequently their influence on the clinical outcome.
