Effect of using truncated versus total foot length to calculate the arch height ratio

摘要: Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the arch height ratio in a large cohort subjects as well assess reliability and validity foot measurements utilized study. Method Eight hundred fifty subjects, 393 women 457 men, consented participate dorsal height, total length, truncated length were used calculate two variations ratio. In addition determining within- between-rater measurement reliability, radiographs establish validity. Results can be estimated using unless toe deformities are present individual being assessed. All had high levels intra- inter-rater measuring while standing with equal weight on both feet established. Conclusions This investigation provides normative values from healthy female male for is reliable valid that may prove useful clinicians researchers classification posture.
