A Study on the Property of the Foot Form through a Development Figure of the Surface Area

발의 체표면적 특성에 관한 연구

This study was to analyze properties of the foot form through a development figure of the surface area by factor analysis, cluster analysis, and reglation analysis. This study was performed 71 college women between 19 adn 23 years old residing in Pusan urban area. The result was as follows; 1. There are four factors selected by factor analysis. The 1st factor signifies the surface area of the toe. The 2nd factor signifies the surface area between Metatarsal circumfer-ence and Tarsal circumference. The 3rd factor signifies the surface area between Toe circumference and Metatarsal circumference. The 4th factor signifies the surface area between Heel-ankle circumference. 2. There are three clusters selected by fast cluster. Cluster 1 : The foot size, most parts of foot surface area and total foot surface area are relatively small to other clusters, but the surface area between Metatarsal circumference and Tarsal circumference is relatively large to other clusters. Cluster 2 : The foot size, all parts of foot surface area and total foot surface area are relatively large to other clusters as Cluster 1, but the surface area of the sole of the heel and the ankle is relatively large to other clusters. 3. Total surface area of the foot=-274.94+24.01* Foot lengh+9.28*Metatarsal circumference.
