title: [The contour of the normal foot. A statistical study].
abstract: The authors, thanks to a statistical study on 292 young adults with healthy feet, have established the common occurrence, that has been suspected clinically, of the arched foot in the classical sense of the term. If one makes an exception of the black race where the flat foot is rather frequent, the white population normally has an arched foot (incipiens, of the 1st or 2nd degree) in 58.2 per cent of cases in men, which increases to 78.8 per cent in women. As for the classically " normal " foot which rather deserves the term " intermediary ", it is found in the white race in 1/3 of subjects.
