TOWARDS ANALYSIS OF FOOT MOTION USING DYNAMIC 3D SURFACE SCANNING

Until now foot motion is mostly studied by markerbased 3D analysis. However, a recently developed dynamic 3D scanner is able to scan the entire foot surface at 49 Hz (Vialux). This creates a variety of possibilities for analysis of foot motion during gait. The aim of this study is the extraction of a segmented foot model from a dynamic 3D scan. Such a foot model would enable a motion analysis without the need to predefine segments, with data from quick and non-invasive measurements.
