ABSTRACT

Dynamic motion of the rearfoot is difficult to assess clinically. Because characteristics of rearfoot motion are linked with injury, it would be beneficial if dynamic rearfoot motion could be predicted from static clinical measurements of the lower extremity. However, the relationship between static clinical measures and dynamic rearfoot motion remains elusive. Results of previous studies are outlined in this article. Rearfoot motion is inherently three dimensional. Therefore, it would be most appropriate to measure rearfoot motion in three dimensions. Further research is needed to better describe the relationship between static measurements of the lower extremity and dynamic rearfoot motion with the goal of predicting and preventing injury.
