Intraoperative pedography: a validated method for static intraoperative biomechanical assessment.

Background: A new device was developed to perform intraoperative static pedography. The purpose of this study was to validate the introduced method by a comparison with the standard method for dynamic and static pedography.

Methods: A device known as Kraftsimulator Intraoperative Pedographie (KIOP) was developed for intraoperative placement of standardized forces to the sole of the foot.
