Do Non-Weightbearing Measurements Correlate With Actual Gait?

Until recently, measuring range of motion of bone segments within the foot was not possible. Today, studies of measurements of multi-segment foot models are being published regularly and represent the most exciting research of lower extremity function. These studies have already challenged many previously held notions about the movement of bones in the human foot during gait. In 1999, Nawoczenski, et al., published a study of motion of the first MPJ in 10 healthy people during walking gait.14 They used an electromagnetic tracking device to accurately measure motion of the hallux relative to the first metatarsal during the entire stance phase of gait. Nawoczenski, et al., also studied different clinical tests to determine which measure would most accurately predict the actual range of motion patients would utilize in their great toe joint during gait. These tests included: passive dorsiflexion (non-weightbearing); active dorsiflexion (non-weightbearing); passive dorsiflexion (weightbear
