Although three-dimensional movement analysis is the preferred method of assessing rearfoot motion during gait, the high cost of equipment and the time required to use it often make it unreasonable or impractical in a clinical setting. The authors discuss a method of minimizing the variability of rearfoot motion measurements during walking, using two-dimensional analysis when three-dimensional is not available to the clinician.
