The techniques of modern gait analysis can be used to quantitatively measure the effect of these orthopedic devices on foot function and foot loading. The different techniques of gait analysis together with their advantages and disadvantages are presented and their possibilities demonstrated with examples of applications. Pressure distribution measurements are emphasized, since this technology is the furthest developed and the easiest to use for the assessment of orthopedic devices.en0001-64621996SUPPL. 1XI16Acta Medica Belgica Publ.Foot functionGait analysisInsoleShoeLife Sciences, BiologyJournal ArticleJournal Article
