Fig. 12.4 Seventeen measurements of foot dimension: 1. foot length. 2. foot breadth, 3. ball
girth circumference, 4. instep length, 5. fibulare instep length, 6. instep circumference, 7. heel
breadth, 8. height of top of ball girth, 9. height of instep length, 10. toe#1 angle, 11. toe #5 angle,
12. height sphyrion fibulare, 13. height of sphyrion, 14. angle of heel born, 15. heel girth
circumference, 16. calf circumference, and 17. horizontal calf circumference.

pressure is asserted on each foot. The five landmarks define the body dimensions and
anatomical correspondence between two different body scans and can also create a
homologous model of the foot (Kouchi and Mochimaru, 2011). Markers are designed
with circle, velvet material and are blue in color. The blue color reduces the brightness
of the laser projection. The material is made out of a very thin fiber and has adhesive
elements for easy usage. Participants were required to place one foot (either left or
right) onto the scanner while placing the other foot at the same position on the glass
plate outside the scanner. Participants stood relaxed and distributed their body weight
equally on both feet (Fig. 12.5). Participants were not allowed to move their feet until
the scanning process is completed. Before repeating the process with the other foot,
the glass plate was cleaned of dust and prints using ethanol. The same scanning pro-
cedure was then used for the other foot.
Finally, the data measurement comes from the INFOOT scanner that provides
17 dimensions that are identified. All measurements were in millimeters and are auto-
matically converted into 3-D models.
