Foot Size Indicator

This is a simple but accurate tool which offers some data which is generally overlooked, the foot length.

Its importance is given by the fact that the culmination moment of growth of the foot is one or two years before the culmination moment of the height, thus during the developing stage considerable changes can be seen in the relation between foot and height. A rather high value of this relation, over 16% indicates a phase of fast growth of the foot at the first stages of puberty. A rather low value of this relation, less than 14,5% indicates a culmination moment of growth already completed. This value can be useful especially during a first visit when the clinician does not have enough information about the growth stages of the young patient.
