introduction: anthropology is the science of body sizes evaluation in living people which is applied in both medical and non-medical professions. the main purpose of the study is the evaluation of foot growth from birth to the age of 10 in folk fars girls of birjand and to make an archive of the data and to study symmetry based on anthropometry and dermatoglyphy. methods: in this study, the foo...

Foot structure description is important for many reasons. The foot anthropometric morphology phenomena are analyzed together with hidden biomechanical functionality in order to fully characterize foot structure and function. For younger Croatian population the scatter data of the individual foot variables were interpolated by multivariate statistics. Foot structure descriptors are influenced by...

This paper introduces a device, algorithm and graphical user interface to obtain anthropometric measurements of foot. Presented device facilitates obtaining scale of image and image processing by taking one image from side foot and underfoot simultaneously. Introduced image processing algorithm minimizes a noise criterion, which is suitable for object detection in single object images and outpe...

The dynamic nature of the population makes it necessary to have reliable and updated data on human foot dimensions. Many factors are responsible for different forms structures foot, such as age, gender, nutrition, genetic composition, among others. This study was carried out optimize analyse various dimensions female subjects. A total 200 subjects participated willingly in study, 27-foot measur...

Postures are often described and modeled using angles between body segments rather than joint coordinates. Models can be used to predict these angles as a function of anthropometry and postural requirements. Postural representation, however, requires the joint coordinates. The use of conventional forward kinematics to derive joint coordinates from predicted angles may violate task constraints, ...

BACKGROUND Many studies have found a positive relationship between increased body weight and flat foot posture in children. METHODS From a study population of 140 children aged seven to 10 years, a sample of 31 children with flat feet was identified by screening with the FPI-6. Basic anthropometric measures were compared between subjects with and without flat feet as designated. RESULTS The...

BACKGROUND Nowadays, trades and research have become closely related between different countries and anthropometric data are important for the development in global markets. The appropriate use of anthropometry may improve wellbeing, health, comfort and safety especially for footwear design. For children a proper fit of footwear is very important, not constraining foot growth and allowing a nor...
