Educational Objectives
Educational Aim:
The review of three-dimensional foot surface scanning methodological protocols was assessed, and short falls were identified. The aim of this study was to develop standardised recommendations for 3D foot scanners.
Educational Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module practitioners should have a clear understanding of:
- Improved reporting of the included subcategories could assist in data pooling and facilitate in collaboration between researchers.
- Larger sample sizes and diversification of population groups could be obtained to vastly improve the quantification of foot shape and inform the development of orthotic and footwear interventions.
- A checklist (Entitled: CRITIC 16 item checklist - Consistent Reporting Three-dimensIonal sCanning) was developed to improve the consistency of reporting of future 3D scanning studies.
