The Foot Posture Index

Most of the measurements that are carried out as part of a biomechanical assessment have been shown in a number of research projects to be unrepeatable. There are also the issues of which measurements are more important, such as the angle of the calcaneus, the height of the arch, the bulging of the midfoot, etc. As a result of these problems, the Foot Posture Index was developed. It relies on repeatable observations rather than unreliable measurements. The Foot Posture Index is also a composite of a number of observations rather than one particular measurement or observations. The Foot Posture index is useful in teaching, research and clinical practice.
