ABSTRACT

Background: Flat foot and High arched foot are common conditions encountered in our daily clinical practice. These foot conditions can lead to other complications.

Objective: To find out the prevalence of flat foot and high arched foot in normal healthy working individuals.

Methods: 60 subjects were selected for the study. All patients’ feet were assessed by footprint method and were categorized into flat feet and high arched feet based on their imprints.

Results: Prevalence in a population of 20 to 60 years old normal working individuals was 34.2% for flat foot, 50.8% for high arched foot and 15% of normal foot for all subjects.

Conclusion: The results conclude that high arched foot is more prevalent in normal healthy working individuals.

KEY WORDS: Foot Deformities, Prevalence, Working Individuals, Stress Fractures.
