Correcting lower limb segment axis misalignment in gait analysis: A simple geometrical method

Abstract

Background: Obtaining precise and repeatable measurements is essential to clinical gait analysis. However, defining the thigh medial-lateral axis segment remains a challenge, with particular implications for the hip rotation profile. Thigh medial-lateral axis misalignment modifies the hip rotation profile and can result in a phenomenon called crosstalk, which increases knee adduction-abduction amplitude artificially. Research question: This study proposes an a posteriori geometrical method based solely on segment anatomy that aims to correct the thigh medial-lateral axis definition and crosstalk-related error.
