AB1673 THE USE OF DIGITAL FOOT SCANNING (PELMATOGRAPHY) FOR IDENTIFICATION OF STANCE ABNORMALITIES IN A YOUNG HEALTHY POPULATION

Background Clinical evaluation of pes anatomy and abnormalities are rarely reported in rheumatology literature. Often deviations from normal not evaluated, unless subsequent pathology symptoms overt. Foot may occasionally lead to overdiagnosis seronegative arthropathies. Objectives This study aims identify any foot a healthy young population army recruits, using clinical digital scanning – pelmatographic (PLM) examination. Methods One hundred ten (M/F:65/54) total 129 new recruits Military Academy Greece participated voluntarily the study. Subjects’ informed consent proper ethical approvals were obtained. The conducted according Declaration Helsinki. A small percentage (1.12 %) short-term lower leg during vigorous athletic activities, past five years. We used morphology on stance compared data obtained phase examination 3400-sensors plantar pressure scan machine. Descriptive statistics for statistical analyses. Results Agreement between observation was noted 59.1% subjects. In particular, observed 48.2% 68.8% subjects, respectively. High arched 23.6% 17.2%, while flat 9.7% There no difference high (chi-square test, p =0,815). Discrepancy feet ( p= 0.04, OR:0.47, 95%CI:0.165-0.730). Finally, 37.3% participants presented pronation 60.8% subjects [M:41 (60.2%), F:27 (39.3%)] brachymetatarsia 1 st toe (Morton’s toe) observed. Conclusion Prevalence unattended an otherwise population. These variations predispose future under specific circumstances. Digital facilitate diagnosis contribute solution with orthotics.
