Analysis of different methods to evaluate the footprint

Abstract

Static methods are a useful tool to analize the footprint, more simple and less expensive tran the dynamic methos to study the structure of the foot. Dynamic methods are often used to stydy foot´s funcionality. Through static methods we can provide a solution, among other problems like foot injuries, which could impact on future lower limb problems, or even to prescribe orthotics, etc. The aim of this study is to perform an analysis criteria for these methos of static analysis of the footprint. To conclude, static methos give more advanteges over the dynamics, however they could provide specific information
