Abstract

A survey was conducted to evaluate the postural and foot problems of 191 healthy Australian children between the ages of 7 and 12 years. The children''s feet were measured, foot deformities and skin excrescences were recorded, and fifth metacarpophalangeal joint mobility was measured by a resistance goniometer.
