in female than in male. The stride length, the step width, and the step time were significantly longer in male. The speed and the proportion of stance phase were not significantly different (Table 1). The range of segmental motion (hallux, forefoot, hindfoot) and arch data were recorded during the gait and compared between male and female. The both genders had similar patterns of segmental foot motions. The range of sagittal motion and coronal angulation of the hallux was greater during gait in females. The range of motion on the hindfoot was also greater in females. The male had higher adjusted arch height and arch index. However, the range of adjusted arch height was larger in females (Figure 1). We demonstrated that there was a substantial temporal pattern of the foot segmental motion in normal adults. We also presented that
