In order to clarify the question of fluctuations in the height of the foot arch during one working day under the influence of functional load, I made measurements in 70 people of different professions. The days with an average, as it were, normal load were chosen for the study. The research was carried out with Prof. Friedland's foot tester according to his method, i.e. the length of the foot (from the top of the big toe to the end of the heel) and its height (vertical from os navicularae at the rear of the foot to the floor) were measured and the percentage of the height to the length of the foot was calculated.
