Propagation of foot anatomical landmark identification variability on foot regional plantar pressure assessment

Introduction: Clinical assessment of foot joint kinematics and plantar loading can be performed using multisegmental models [1] and a pressure-kinematics integrated approach [2]. While the impact of inter- and intra-operator precision in identifying foot anatomical landmarks has been investigated on joint kinematics [3], the propagation of this variability to the assessment of foot regional pressure has been scarcely described. The present study addresses this issue with respect to the Oxford Foot Model (OFM).
