There has been a controversy as to whether or not the non-pathological flatfoot and high-arched foot have an effect on human walking activities. The 3Dfoot scanning system was employed to obtain static footprints from subjectsadopting a half-weight-bearing stance. Based upon their footprints, thesubjects were divided into two groups: the flat-footed and the high-arched. Theplantar pressure measurement system was used to measure and record thesubjects' successive natural gaits. Two indices were proposed: distribution ofvertical ground reaction force (VGRF) of plantar and the rate of the footprintareas. Using these two indices to compare the natural gaits of the two subjectgroups, we found that (1) in stance phase, there is a significant difference(p<0.01) in the distributions of VGRF of plantar; (2) in a stride cycle, thereis also a significant difference (p<0.01) in the rates of the footprint areas.Our analysis suggests that when walking, the VGRF of the plantar brings greatermuscle tension to the flat-footed while a smaller rate of the footprint areasbrings greater stability to the high-arched.
