Abstract

The object of this thesis is to study the correlation between scoliosis and foot in a theoretical and empirical method. My research process was investigated for 34 students on the forward bending test, foot printer test, feedoscope test, X-ray test and so on. The main results of this study were as follows: 1. There was statistical significance on the correlation between foot length and spine length. 2. Scoliosis angle is the smallest on the pes plannus group and the biggest on the pes cavus group without statistical significance. 3. Left lumbar curve is the smallest, and right thoracic spine curve is the biggest on the left foot pattern group with statistical significance. 4. On the foot weightbearing groups, there was statistical significance both of between left and right foot groups. 5. There was no statistical significance on the t-test analysis between left foot area and right foot area according to scoliosis typology.
