Kinematic Modeling of Ankle and Foot Bone Motion for Applications in Orthopedics and Gait Analysis (Kinematische modellering van enkel- en voetbeenbeweging voor toepassingen in de orthopedie en ganganalyse) KU Leuven
This PhD dissertation focuses on the development and validation of kinematic models of the ankle and foot for use during marker based gait analysis and applications in orthopedics. More specifically, it investigates the hypothesis that CT-based models can predict complete 3D joint kinematics at the ankle and joints of the foot from a limited set of degrees of freedom and as such be used as tools in clinical practice and research. ...
