Abstract
The analysis of foot kinematics is crucial for detecting and quantifying gait alterations. Its estimate is often performed using stereo-photogrammetric marker-based technology (MB), associated with a variety of multi-segment foot models (Leardini et al., 2007). However, the high-cost laboratory settings and high-time for the subject preparation limits its use. Markerless alternatives (MS) based on single RGB-D camera have been proposed to overcome these limitations. These methods (e.g. Azure Kinect Body tracking SDK, OpenPose, Balta et al., 2020) model the foot as a single segment without articulating the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, which is crucial to guarantee an effective and correct foot progression (Allan et al., 2020).
The aim of this thesis project is to develop a MS method based on a single RGB-D camera to estimate sagittal ankle and MTP kinematics using a two-segment 3D foot model and explore its clinical applicability on children with foot deformities
