چکیده
Introduction Foot symmetry and change in foot structure as a function of weight bearing status have not been investigated in a large cohort study. The foot structure of 1,054 incoming cadets at the US Military Academy (172 female, 18.5±1.1 years, 24.5±3.0 kg/m) was examined. Arch Height Index (AHI) was assessed in sitting and standing condition, and its value was used to classify each foot into 3 foot types as previously described [1].
