Change Of The Foot Morphology Depending On The Plantar Surface 3d Capture Method Modificarea Morfologiei Piciorului În Functie De Metoda De Captura 3D A Suprafetei Plantare [Modificarea morfologiei piciorului în functie de metoda de captura 3D a suprafetei plantare]

Conservative treatment of foot pathomechanics implies the use of the medical devices such as orthopedic footwear and foot orthoses, based on medical prescription. Medical prescription is not so elaborated, leaving the decision regarding the choice of most design elements up to the pedorthist. Clinical gait analysis provides a number of essential data in designing process of these devices. An important element of the biomechanical examination is the determination of structural deformations of the foot and how these affect the gait. Foot morphology is determined by structural deformations that occur and may be influenced by the manner in which it is captured. Since the design process of medical devices starts from foot surface it is obvious that it will be influenced by how this surface will be captured. This paper represents a preliminary study on how the three-dimensional foot surface capturing method influences its morphology. The results show that foot morphology is influenced by the capture method used, this fact influencing the design process of medical devices. Continued research is necessary in order to quantify how much the foot morphology is influenced by the foot surface capture method
