Kinect-based 3D assessment for clubfoot deformity: an exploratory study

Congenital talipes equinovarus is a musculoskeletal pediatric foot deformity, which is characterized by midfoot cavus, forefoot adductus, hindfoot varus and equinus (CAVE). A standardized objective assessment is essential to measure the severity of the clubfoot. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a three-dimensional assessment method to evaluate the clubfoot severity.
