METHOD: Designing of the device was done using Solidworks software, after finalization of design, Phase 2 which involved the development of footmeter, materials used were, a rectangular wooden frame, an aluminum slider, goniometers, metal sheet with markings of 1 cm over an entire sheet in vertical as well as horizontal direction forming small grids. RESULT: An early version of "Footmeter" device was developed by assembling all the parts together. The Footmeter evaluates: foot length, width of forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot, height of Medial Longitudinal Arch(MLA) , abduction of 1 st MetaTarso Phalangeal (MTP) and deviation for metatarsus adductus. CONCLUSION: The groundbreaking Footmeter device is meticulously designed for measuring foot parameters in children with disabilities. It offers an unparalleled blend of precision, efficiency, and simplicity. With its objective outcomes, minimal training requirements, decreased manual errors, and a streamlined assessment process, "Footmeter" device stands as the ultimate all-in-one tool for the meticulous measurement of foot parameters in children with disabilities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
