“…A more recent study using 3D scanning to investigate flatfoot prevalence in a group of 835 children was carried out by Pfeiffer et al [45], and found that age, gender and weight were the key influences on flat foot development. The Infoot 3D foot digitiser (I‐Ware Laboratory Co., Ltd, Osaka, Japan), the development of which has been described by Kouchi and Mochimaru [46], has been investigated for validity and reliability compared to manual measurements for rheumatoid arthritis patients [9]. The device was found to be reliable with high intraclass correlation coefficients for linear values, although standard errors of measurement were found to be up to 5.9 mm for girth measurements.…”

BackgroundA number of surface scanning systems with the ability to quickly and easily obtain 3D digital representations of the foot are now commercially available. This review aims to present a summary of the reported use of these technologies in footwear development, the design of customised orthotics, and investigations for other ergonomic purposes related to the foot.MethodsThe PubMed and ScienceDirect databases were searched. Reference lists and experts in the field were also consulted to identify additional articles. Studies in English which had 3D surface scanning of the foot as an integral element of their protocol were included in the review.ResultsThirty-eight articles meeting the search criteria were included. Advantages and disadvantages of using 3D surface scanning systems are highlighted. A meta-analysis of studies using scanners to investigate the changes in foot dimensions during varying levels of weight bearing was carried out.ConclusionsModern 3D surface scanning systems can obtain accurate and repeatable digital representations of the foot shape and have been successfully used in medical, ergonomic and footwear development applications. The increasing affordability of these systems presents opportunities for researchers investigating the foot and for manufacturers of foot related apparel and devices, particularly those interested in producing items that are customised to the individual. Suggestions are made for future areas of research and for the standardization of the protocols used to produce foot scans.

“…Although there are several cross-sectional studies of feet in Japanese subjects, there have been few longitudinal studies 20,21) . Previous studies showed that the foot arch is different between Japanese and people in other countries 22) . A few longitudinal studies using footprints described an "arch index," characterized by the medial foot arch remaining stable from 7 to 9 years of age 23,24) .…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of musculoskeletal findings in elementary and junior high school children using 1-year prospective longitudinal data from a long-term survey. Data from 1209 (97.6%) of 1239 children were analyzed. The main results were as follows: "Limitation of standing forward flexion" was particularly frequent in the 4 th grade in all children and in the 5 th grade in boys and girls going on to the next grade. "Flat foot" was particularly frequent in boys in the 1 st , 6 th , and 8 th grades going on to the next grade. In girls, the frequency of "flat foot" was particularly high in the 1 st , 4 th , and 8 th grades going on to the next grade. Findings of scoliosis appeared more often in girls than in boys. Minor findings such as "asymmetrical height of the shoulder and scapula", first appearing in the 4 th and 5 th grades, may be linked to the increase in "Rib hump" in the stage entering junior high school; it is important to pay attention to such changes in the scoliosis findings. This 1-year prospective longitudinal analysis demonstrated that the frequency of some musculoskeletal findings was high. We suggest that an extended longitudinal study will contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between the appearance of musculoskeletal findings and growth and development in school children. Accordingly, further analysis of the various stages of growth and development are needed.
