    Template for radiographic measurements of the medial longitudinal arch, calculated on lateral radiography. Abbreviations: AH, arch height; C, calcaneus; CP, calcaneal pitch angle; MC, medial cuneiform bone; MT, metatarsal bone; N, navicular bone; T, talus; TC, talocalcaneal angle; TH, talo-horizontal angle; TM, talo-first metatarsal angle.

  • Image Result
    The geometric parameters were determined with the EMED ST-4 system. Subarch angle (equal to COD, A, A′, B, B′) defined over the forefoot and heel width, forefoot arch index (equal to L/A A′), midfoot

    The geometric parameters were determined with the EMED ST-4 system. Subarch angle (equal to COD, A, A′, B, B′) defined over the forefoot and heel width, forefoot arch index (equal to L/A A′), midfoot arch index (equal to L/B B′), and long plantar angle determined by AB and A′ B′.

  • Image Result
    Scattergram of subarch angle versus (A) talo-first metatarsal angle, (B) talo-horizontal angle, and (C) arch height.

    Scattergram of subarch angle versus (A) talo-first metatarsal angle, (B) talo-horizontal angle, and (C) arch height.
