Key Points - Review findings procured little evidence that the extreme total, segmental, and inter-segmental foot and ankle range of motion exerted by dancers are being evaluated during dance-specific movements using three-dimensional (3D) motion capture. - Most researchers using 3D motion capture systems to study the in vivo kinematics of the foot and ankle during dance movements utilize single-segment foot models, which evaluate the foot and ankle as a single segment, rigid body. - The present findings support the use of multi-segment foot models to evaluate the total, segmental, and intersegmental motion of the foot and ankle joints to evaluate dance-specific movements.
