Methods Nineteen participants with normaland flat-arched feet were recruited for this study (10 with normal and 9 with flat-arched feet). A foot screening protocol comprising measurements from weightbearing antero-posterior and lateral foot radiographs were used to classify foot posture. Tri-planar motion of the tibia, rearfoot and forefoot during barefoot walking were recorded from 10 cameras and evaluated using a three-dimensional motion analysis system incorporating a multi-segment foot model (OFM).
