The goal of this study was to determine how foot type and activity level affect ankle and hindfoot motion. Dynamic biplane radiography and a validated volumetric registration process was used to measure ankle and hindfoot motion of 20 healthy adults during walking and running. The helical axes of motion (HAM) during stance were calculated at the tibiotalar and subtalar joints. The intersection of each HAM and the rotation plane of interest defined the tibiotalar and subtalar centers of rotation (COR). Correlations between foot type and hindfoot kinematics were calculated using Pearson’s correlations. The effect of activity, phase of gait, and dominant vs. non-dominant limb on HAM and COR were evaluated using linear mixed effects models. Activity and phase of gait influenced the superior location of the tibiotalar (p < 0.041) and subtalar (p < 0.044) CORs. Activity and gait phase affected tibiotalar (p < 0.049) and subtalar (p < 0.044) HAM direction during gait. Both HAM orientation and COR location changed with activity and phase of gait. These ankle and hindfoot kinematics have implications for total ankle replacement design and musculoskeletal models that estimate force and moment generating capabilities of muscles.
