Establishing anthropometric foot sizes of the male population in Romania in order to develop an original Romanian standard
Journal Title: Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Materials and Systems (ICAMS) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The purpose of this scientific paper is to present aspects related to a pre-project to develop an Original Romanian Standard by establishing anthropometric foot sizes of Romanian male population, specifying the size systems used in the design and development of lasts used to make shoes in the footwear industry. In the anthropometric survey conducted in Romania, the 3D shape of the foot in order to calculate anthropometric parameters was captured using the INFOOT USB system made up of the 3D scanner and the dedicated MEASURE 2.8 software. Anthropometric studies were conducted on a sample of 300 male subjects from three geographic regions of Romania: South (100 subjects), East (100 subjects) and Centre and West (100 subjects), aged between 24 and 72. Subjects with particular anthropometric features, including deformities and structural abnormalities of the foot, were excluded. Sizes obtained by processing are itemised in an individual anthropometric chart. A data base comprising 300 anthropometric charts was compiled. Values of each dimensional parameter were centralized in a table that constitutes a database. Anthropometric data were grouped for each foot size. The interdimensional interval was determined for each anthropometric size, for each size and standardized values were established.
