Abstract
Individuals with cerebral palsy often walk with atypical gait patterns like equinus or crouch gait. Several multi-segment foot models have been developed [1] to measure the abnormal foot kinematics of these gait patterns. The Oxford Foot Model [2] (OFM) and Rizzoli Foot Model [3,4] (RFM) are used most frequently in both clinical practice and research [1]. Their different model characteristics (e.g. marker placement and axis definitions) will likely result in different kinematic output. However, these differences have not yet been extensively compared, especially not in pathological gait patterns.
