Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the footprint morphology and obtain the Chippaux-Smirak Index in a Mexican population to identify the type of feet and its prevalence. A database of images of the soles of both feet was analyzed. The database contained images of 1,014 persons between 2 and 73 years old from Guanajuato state, Mexico. Moreover, a literature review was performed to identify the type of feet in the Mexican population. It was observed that less than 17 % of the population have cavus foot (p= 0.018). Furthermore, less than 25 % of the population between 17 and 73 years have flatfoot 3 (p= 0.0079) in the left foot. Also, only nine articles related to the type of foot in the Mexican population were found, but most of them were performed on young population. The formation of the medial arc could be beyond the first decade of life and the relatively high prevalence of flatfoot in adult life should be studied. Finally, the results found can be useful for orthopedists, physiotherapists, clinicians, and parents who are concerned about the foot health of their children.

墨西哥人群的足型:足印形态分析及文献综述

本研究的目的是分析足迹形态，并获得墨西哥人群中的Chippoux Smirak指数，以确定足部类型及其患病率。分析了一个包含脚底图像的数据库。该数据库包含来自墨西哥瓜纳华托州的1014名2至73岁人员的图像。此外，还进行了文献综述，以确定墨西哥人口的足部类型。据观察，只有不到17%的人群患有腔足（p=0.018）。此外，在17岁至73岁的人群中，左脚只有不到25%的人患有扁平足3型（p=0.0079）。此外，在墨西哥人群中只发现了9篇与足部类型有关的文章，但大多数都是在年轻人群中进行的。内侧弧的形成可能超过生命的第一个十年，应该研究平足在成年生活中相对较高的患病率。最后，研究结果对骨科医生、理疗师、临床医生和关心孩子足部健康的父母都很有用。
