Objective The objectives of this study were to: (i) review and provide a narrative synthesis of three-dimensional (3D) foot surface scanning methodological and statistical analysis protocols, and (ii) develop a set of recommendations for standardising the reporting of 3D foot scanning approaches. Methods A systematic search of the SCOPUS, ProQuest, and Web of Science databases were conducted to identify papers reporting 3D foot scanning protocols and analysis techniques. To be included, studies were required to be published in English, have more than ten participants, and involve the use of static 3D surface scans of the foot. Papers were excluded if they reported two-dimensional footprints only, 3D scans that did not include the medial arch, dynamic scans, or derived foot data from a full body scan. Results The search yielded 78 relevant studies from 17 different countries. The available evidence showed a large variation in scanning protocols. The subcategories displaying the most variation included scanner specifications (model, type, accuracy, resolution, capture duration), scanning conditions (markers, weightbearing, number of scans), foot measurements and definitions used, and statistical analysis approaches. A 16-item checklist was developed to improve the consistency of reporting of future 3D scanning studies. Conclusion 3D foot scanning methodological and statistical analysis protocol consistency and reporting has been lacking in the literature to date. Improved reporting of the included subcategories could assist in data pooling and facilitate collaboration between researchers. As a result, larger sample sizes and diversification of population groups could be obtained to vastly improve the quantification of foot shape and inform the development of orthotic and footwear interventions and products.

“…Issues with these deformities can impair recreational activities and walking in young children. Treatment options include providing DS patients with appropriately fitting footwear 11,13 , foot orthoses in combination with physical therapy 16 , and surgical interventions in cases where the pain or deformity causes debilitating gait issues 11 . Procedures such as first ray realignment and exostectomy are typically reserved for more severe cases 11,18 .…”

“…The height-normalized results from 3-dimensional foot scans of children and adolescents with or without DS have demonstrated that children with DS presented with significantly shorter foot length, greater foot width, greater foot girth, and larger fifth toe height 13 . Hypotonia and increased ligament laxity in patients with DS lead to hallux valgus and pes planus, resulting in the foot scan changes seen in adolescents with DS 3,14 .…”

Foot deformities make up a large percentage of all orthopaedic complaints in patients with Down syndrome, Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Larsen syndrome, and osteogenesis imperfecta.» Some common causes of foot deformities in these conditions include increased ligament laxity, hypotonia, and hypermobility of the joints.» Treatment options for syndromic foot deformities include the use of foot orthoses, physical therapy, bracing, and various surgical procedures.» There is limited evidence supporting the use of surgical intervention to correct foot deformities associated with Down syndrome, Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Larsen syndrome, and osteogenesis imperfecta. Therefore, further research is needed to determine the short-term and long-term outcomes of these procedures.

“…[13]. Furthermore, available evidence shows that foot structure development in children and teenagers may be effected by anatomical structures, different growth patterns and abnormal variation of plantar pressure [18][19][20]. Another factor that may greatly influence foot development relates to fashion designs [21,22].…”
