      Metatarsus (Met)

      Segment Definition:

      The FM2 landmark is projected onto the plane defined by the FM1, FM5, and SMB landmarks. The line from the SMB to FM2 projection are used to define the X axis (A/P) axis of the Met segment. The sagittal axis (Z axis) is along the plane defined by the FM1, FM5, and SMB targets.

      The FMB target is not used to define the segment, but it will be used to track the segment (in addition to the other targets).

      Joint Angles:

      * Mid-Met Angle
      * Cal-Met Angle
      * F2Pt[1]/ Y component of the Met-Hal Angle[2]
      * F2Ps[1]/ Z component of the Met-Hal Angle[2]

      Planar Angles:

      * S2F is projected onto the plane of the Met segment
      * S2V is projected onto the plane of the Met segment

                  Calcaneus (Cal)

                  Segment Definition:

                  The origin is at the FCP target. The A/P (X) axis is along the line from the FCP to midpoint of the ST and PT targets (IC landmark). The sagittal (Z) axis is along the plane defined by the FCP, ST and TN targets.

                  * Cal-Mid Angle Z rotation & Y Rotation*

                  * The 2014 paper[2] modified the definition of inversion/eversion for the calcaneus segment relative to the shank segment. This is now calculated as the Sha_Cal_Fro angle which is a four point planar angle.

                  Planar Angles:

                        Virtual Foot (Foo)

                        Segment Definition:

                        The origin is at the FCP target. The A/P (X) axis is along the line from the FCP to RFT_DIST landmark. The sagittal (Z) axis is along the plane defined by the FCP, FMH and VMH targets.

                        This foot segment should be set to “kinematic only” since the origin is not at the point of rotation (the mid point of the RIMM & RLM targets. The IORFoot analysis does not calculate kinetics, so no kinetic foot segment is described in this model. To create gait events, you will need a kinetic foot segment. An example of a kinetic foot segment is created in the sample download files for this tutorial.

                                      F2G S2G and V2G Landmarks

                                      The F2G, S2G and V2G angles are calculated in the plane orthogonal to the ground. These landmarks will need to be projected onto the ground. To project landmarks onto the ground, the Lab_O, Lab_X and Lab_Y landmarks will need to be created to identify the plane of the ground. IORProjectionOutline.png

                                                          To accomplish this, two landmarks must be created:
                                                          1. The projection of the proximal heel target onto the ground
                                                          2. Track the proximal heel target projection using the calcaneus segment


                                                          To create these landmarks, the LAB_O, LAB_X and LAB_Y landmarks must be created and the calcaneus segment must be defined.

                                                                                              This sagittal and transverse angles of the Met_Hal_Angle angles create the F2Ps & F2Pt planar angles from the 2007 paper[1]. Since the targets used to track this segment are nearly colinear, useful information cannot be calculated from rotations in the coronal plane.
