Most symptomatic pathologies of the ankle and hindfoot are determined by biomechanical alterations of this anatomical region. Surgical treatment of these pathologies is therefore aimed at improving the inferior biomechanical condition, and it can be expected that an improvement of the biomechanical parameters grossly parallels the targeted clinical improvement. 3D Multisegment Foot Models have been developed and validated to determine the clinical outcome. Such a validated 3D Multisegment Foot Model is now standard available in the gaitlab of UZ Leuven making it possible to study a huge amount of biomechanical parameters within the foot \& ankle region itself.
