Abstract

This study investigated the stable position of the medial arch of the foot for roentgenographic examination.The length of the medial arch was measured using the electric arch gauge (EAG) in thirty feet of fifteen normal adults in the following positions: sitting (control), both-legs standing, one-leg standing without support, Yokokura's-position, one-leg standing with support, and Yokokura's position with sunnort.The sway of the medial arch in both-legs standing position was the least among the six positions except for the sitting position.It was thought that standing on both lets was the most stable position for radiographic examinations in the evaluation of the medial arch of the foot.
