“…However, recent studies have adapted the outcome measure to fall within a range of 0-901 (Ferber et al, 2005;Pollard et al, 2005;Pohl and Buckley, 2008), although a justification for this adjustment was not provided. Constraining the γ i between 01 and 901 can compress coordination information and may result in a loss of directional sensitivity of movement between two segments (Dubbeldam et al, 2013). Whilst the usability, comprehensibility and the consistency of our approach have not been tested, the vector coding technique and new illustration presented in this paper highlights the reported coupling angle results clearly matches the global data.…”

Thank you for your assistance. b s t r a c tThe complexity of human gait patterns has become a topic of major interest in motor control and biomechanics. Range of motion is still the preferred method to quantify movement impairment, however, within these traditional linear measures, the inter-segmental coordination and movement variability is normally ignored. A dynamical systems approach using vector coding and circular statistics provides non-linear techniques to quantify coordination and variability. This study provides comprehensive vector coding and circular statistics calculations. Additionally, pelvis-lumbar coordination and coordination variability data obtained from ten healthy young male participants during five walking trials using an optoelectronic system is provided. This novel data can form the baseline information for future studies in this area of research. Finally, a new illustration to present coordination and coordination variability information of gait kinematics, combining the output from the modified vector coding technique with traditional time-series segmental angle data is presented. This technique, when applied to single patients can be beneficial to assess the effect of an intervention on the patient-specific intersegmental coordination pattern with implications to clinical setting.

“…However an HV deformity can influence not only foot loading, but also gait kinematics, because an individual with HV has a different lower limbs alignment compared to the normal population (Steinberg et al, 2013). For example, a consistent coupling relationship was found between hallux plantar/dorsiflexion and hindfoot inversion/eversion (Dubbeldam et al, 2013). Significant correlations between movements of various body segments were also found not only within the foot, but also across the entire lower limb and pelvis.…”

Background The aim of our study was to compare spatiotemporal parameters and lower limb and pelvis kinematics during the walking in patients with hallux valgus before and after surgery and in relation to a control group. Methods Seventeen females with hallux valgus, who underwent first metatarsal osteotomy, constituted our experimental group. The control group consisted of thirteen females. Kinematic data during walking were obtained using the Vicon MX system. Findings Our results showed that hallux valgus before surgery affects spatiotemporal parameters and lower limb and pelvis kinematics during walking. Hallux valgus surgery further increased the differences that were present before surgery. Specifically after hallux valgus surgery, the walking speed decreased even more (p=0.09, η2= 0.19) while step time increased (p=0.002, η2=0.44) on both legs. The maximum ankle plantar flexion of the operated leg during toe off decreased to a greater extend (p=0.03, η2=0.26). The asymmetry in the hip and the pelvis movements in the frontal plane (present preoperatively) persisted after surgery. Interpretation Hallux valgus is not an isolated problem of the first ray, which could be just surgically addressed by correcting the foot’s alignment. It is a long-term progressive malfunction of the foot affecting the entire kinematic chain of the lower extremity.

“…Previous studies reported that static pronated foot posture is characterized by hindfoot eversion, forefoot inversion/eversion, abduction, and dorsiflexion . In addition, hindfoot eversion is related to forefoot inversion, abduction, and dorsiflexion during walking and running . Although greater hindfoot eversion is reported in subjects with MTSS compared with those without MTSS during forward steps or running, it is currently unclear where abnormalities in foot kinematics occur.…”

“…The increased contractions of these muscles, in turn, may create a traction force on the posteromedial border of the tibia, causing inflammation. In addition, during walking and running, foot pronation couple with internal rotation of the tibia may generate bone torsional stress . Because the tibias of healthy subjects were weak against torsional stress, the tibia of subjects with MTSS may be subjected to large torsional strain during excessive foot pronation .…”

Excessive foot pronation during static standing, walking and running has been reported as a contributing factor for the development of medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS). The motion of foot pronation consists of hindfoot and forefoot motion. However, no previous studies have investigated forefoot and hindfoot kinematics during walking and running in subjects with MTSS. The current study sought to compare hindfoot and forefoot kinematics between subjects with and without MTSS while walking and running. Eleven subjects with MTSS and 11 healthy controls (each group containing 10 males and one female) participated in the current study. Segment angles of the hindfoot and forefoot during walking and running barefoot on a treadmill were recorded using three‐dimensional kinematic analysis. An independent t‐test was used to compare kinematic data between groups. Subjects with MTSS exhibited significantly greater hindfoot eversion and abduction (p < 0.05) during walking and running than subjects without MTSS, significantly greater forefoot eversion and abduction (p < 0.05) during walking, and significantly greater forefoot abduction during running (p < 0.05). Hindfoot and forefoot kinematics during walking and running were significantly different between subjects with and without MTSS. For prevention and rehabilitation of MTSS, it may be important to focus on not only hindfoot but also forefoot kinematics during both running and walking. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.
