Abstract

Using a flatbed foot scanner we determined the correlation between anatomical and physiological condition of foot on the one hand, and sex and constitution, on the other. A hardware and software package for investigation of longitudinal and transverse foot arch was developed and implemented. This package consists of a special scanner and a program obtaining the foot image for analysis and diagnostic conclusion. 600 students of the Volgograd state medical university were observed by using this technology.
