O cenário brasileiro do mercado de calçados caracteriza-se cada vez mais por consumidores que procuram produtos com maior valor agregado. Para o universo feminino, é perceptível que o fator moda possui relevância vital, mas os requisitos de conforto do calçado ganham cada vez mais importância. Através da união de recursos tecnológicos e da experiência pragmática do setor calçadista, esta pesquisa antropométrica sobre pés femininos procura contribuir com um embasamento científico que traga mais suporte ao processo de desenvolvimento de produto. Neste contexto, a dissertação tem por objetivo organizar e validar uma sistemática atualizada de medição de pés em diferentes posições de altura de salto com base em recursos tecnológicos disponíveis, com os quais é possível mensurar parâmetros antropométricos importantes para o desenvolvimento de novos projetos de formas e calçados. Para a consecução deste objetivo, o trabalho foi embasado por uma revisão e fundamentação teórica que apontou a antropometria como um elemento em comum para estudos sobre biomecânica e ergonomia. A amostra do estudo foi composta por 407 brasileiras adultas, considerando-se a faixa etária entre 16 e 55 anos, sendo realizado experimentalmente com mulheres com residência fixa ou temporária na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre, no Vale do Rio dos Sinos, no Vale do Paranhana e em cidades vizinhas dessas regiões no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. O projeto foi aprovado em Comitê de Ética e contou com o uso de equipamentos e softwares que permitiram a investigação proposta pela pesquisa, propiciando desde a coleta de dados antropométricos, tratamento, conversão e leitura dos arquivos digitalizados até a análise estatística destes mesmos dados de modo a permitir a apresentação de resultados coerentes com o objetivo estabelecido. Como resultados, são expostas uma série de características demográficas e dados antropométricos da amostra investigada. A metodologia utilizada mostrou-se consistente, trazendo resultados que contribuem com o trabalho do designer de formas e calçados. Os resultados das medidas das variáveis antropométricas dos pés da amostra foram avaliados em 20 diferentes seções em cada pé, sendo que 2 correspondem a comprimentos, 6 correspondem a perímetros, 6 correspondem a alturas e 6 correspondem a larguras. A variabilidade das medidas apresentadas ratifica a importância do desenvolvimento e fabricação de formas e calçados com perfis diferenciados e instiga a análise pormenorizada de cada variável antropométrica como fundamento para o desenvolvimento de produtos mais adequados à geração de conforto. / The Brazilian footwear market scenery is more and more characterized by consumers who seek products with higher value added. Concerning the women’s world, it is noticed that the fashion concept owns a vital enhancement, but the footwear comfort requirements gain increasingly importance. Through the union of technological resources and the pragmatic experience of the footwear sector, this anthropometric research on women’s feet intends to contribute with a scientific fundamentation which brings more support to the product development process. In this context, this monograph aims to organize and make valid an up-to-date system of feet measurement in different positions of heel height based on available technological resources with which it is possible to measure important anthropometric parameters for the development of new last and shoe projects. In order to achieve this goal, the task was based on a review and theoretical fundamentation which has highlighted the anthropometric as an element in common for studies on biomechanics and ergonomics. The sampling study was made up by 407 female adult Brazilians, taking into account an age range from 16 to 55 years old, being made experimentally with women owning temporary or permanent residence in the Urban Region of Porto Alegre, Vale do Rio dos Sinos, Vale do Paranhana and the neighborhood cities of these regions in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The project was approved by the ethical committee and equipments and software were used which allowed the investigation proposed by the research by assuring from the anthropometric data collecting, adjustments, conversion and reading of digitized files until the statistic analysis of this same data to permit the consistent result presentation according to the objective set. As a result, a set of demographic characteristics and anthropometric data of the sampling investigated are reported. The system used was shown to be consistent, bringing results which help the work of the last and shoe designer. The results of the foot anthropometric variable measures of the sampling were taken in 20 different parts of each foot, considering that 2 corresponds to the length, 6 corresponds to the perimeter, 6 corresponds to the height and 6 corresponds to the width. The variability of the measures presented confirms the importance of the development and production of lasts and shoes with different volumes and it instigates a detailed analysis of each anthropometric variable as a base for the development of more appropriate products to create comfort.

The foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus poses a considerable threat both to farmers and to the wider economy should there be a future incursion into the UK. The most recent large-scale FMD epidemic in the UK was in 2001. Mathematical models were developed and used during this epidemic to aid decision-making about how to most effectively control and eliminate it. While the epidemic was eventually brought to a halt, it resulted in a huge loss of livestock and is estimated to have cost the UK economy around ¿6 billion. The mathematical models predicted the overall spatial spread of FMD well, but had low predictive ability for identifying precisely which farm premises became infected over the course of the epidemic. This will in part have been due to the stochastic nature of the models. However, the transmission probability between two farm premises was represented as the Euclidean distance between their point locations, which is a crude representation of FMD transmission. Additionally, the premises' point location data contain inaccuracies, sometimes identifying the farmer's residential address rather than the farm itself which may be a long way away. Local FMD transmission occurs via contaminated fomites carried by people or vehicles between premises, or by infected particles being blown by wind between proximal fields. Given that these transmission mechanisms are thought to be related to having close field boundaries, it is possible that some of the inaccuracy in model predictions is also due to imprecisely representing such transmission. In this thesis I use fine-scale geographical data of farm premises' field locations to study the contiguity of premises (where contiguous premises (CPs) are defined as having field boundaries < 15m apart). I demonstrate that the distance between two premises' point locations does not accurately represent when they are CPs. Using an area of southern Scotland containing 4767 livestock premises, I compare the predictions of model simulations using two different model formulations. The first is one of the original models based on the 2001 outbreak, and the second is a new model in which transmission probability is related to whether or not premises were contiguous. The comparison suggests that the premises that became infected during the course of the simulations were more predictable using the new model. While it cannot be concluded that this will translate into more accurate predictions until this can be validated during a future outbreak, it does suggest that the new model is more predictable in its route through the landscape, and therefore that it may better reflect local transmission routes than the original model. Networks based on contiguity of premises were constructed for the same area of southern Scotland, and showed that 90.6% (n=4318) of the premises in the area were indirectly connected to one another as part of the Giant Component (GC). The network metric of 'betweenness' was used to identify premises acting as bridges between otherwise disconnected sub-populations of premises. It was found that removing 100 premises with highest betweenness served to fragment the GC. Model simulations indicated that, even with some longer-range transmission possible, removing these premises from the network resulted in a large decrease in mean number of infected premises and outbreak duration. In real terms, premises removal from the network would mean ensuring these premises did not become infected by enhanced biosecurity and/or vaccination depending on policy. In this thesis I also considered the role of biosecurity practices in shaping FMD spread. A sample of 200 Scottish farmers were interviewed on their biosecurity practices, and their biosecurity risk quantified using a biosecurity 'risk score' developed during the 2007 FMD outbreak in Surrey. Using Moran's I and network assortativity measures it was found that there did not appear to be any clustering of biosecurity risk scores on premises. Statistical analysis found no association between biosecurity risk and the mathematical model's premises' susceptibility term (which describes the increase in a premises' susceptibility with increasing numbers of livestock). This suggests that the model's susceptibility term is not indirectly capturing a general pattern in biosecurity on different sized farm premises. Thus, this body of work shows that incorporating a more realistic representation of premises location into mathematical models, in terms of area (i.e. as fields) rather than a point, alters predictions of spatial spread. It also demonstrates that targeted control at a relatively small number of farms could effectively fragment the farming landscape, and has the potential to considerably reduce the size of an FMD outbreak. It also demonstrates that variations in premises' FMD biosecurity risks are unlikely to be indirectly affecting the spatial or demographic components of the model. This increase in understanding of how geographic, social and demographic factors relate to FMD spread through the landscape may enable more effective control of an outbreak, should there be an incursion in the UK in future.

Depuis son apparition au milieu du XIXe siècle, la gare ferroviaire n'a cessé de se métamorphoser et de se complexifier. Ce long processus a conduit à une « labyrinthification » spatiale, temporelle et fonctionnelle de ces grands équipements métropolitains. Ce phénomène pose un problème de lisibilité des espaces et se traduit notamment par la complexification des cheminements et la désorientation des usagers. Depuis quelques années, ces questions deviennent des préoccupations majeures pour les concepteurs et les gestionnaires, qui n'arrivent pas toujours à y répondre de manière efficace. La recherche propose une approche à la fois théorique et méthodologique des questions de « lisibilité » et d' « accessibilité » des espaces de la grande gare contemporaine autour du concept de « wayfinding ». On cherche à identifier les facteurs qui influencent les expériences de passage en gare et génèrent ou accompagnent les situations de désorientation et de confusion en s'appuyant notamment sur l'analyse des commentaires verbaux et des parcours filmés de volontaires à l'intérieur de la gare de la Part-Dieu à Lyon. Les travaux ont permis de mettre en évidence la complexité des facteurs à prendre en compte dans l'analyse de la lisibilité des espaces de la gare et des cheminements piétons : caractéristiques physiques et sensibles des lieux, degré d'efficacité de la signalétique, caractéristiques individuelles voyageur, compétences cognitives et perceptives, profil émotionnel, habilités spatiales et personnalité. Ils permettent d'imaginer une nouvelle approche de la conception des grandes gares contemporaines. / Since its appearance in the middle of the XIXe century, the railway station has continued to transform and become more complex. This long process drove to a spatial, temporal and functional "labyrinthification" of these big metropolitan facilities. This phenomenon poses a problem of legibility of the spaces and results notably in the complexity of the paths and disorientation of users. Since some years, these questions become major preoccupations for designers and managers, who are not always able to respond efficiently. Research proposes a theoretical and methodological approach around the concept of" wayfinding, to the questions of "legibility" and "accessibility" of the spaces in the big contemporary station. It seeks to identify the factors that influence the experiences of station passage and generate or accompany situations of disorientation and confusion, relying in particular on the analysis of subject's volunteer's verbal reports and filmed courses inside the station Part-Dieu in Lyon. The work has highlighted the complexity of factors to be taken into account in the analysis of the legibility of the space station and pedestrian paths: physical and sensitive characteristics of places, effectiveness of signage, individual characteristics, cognitive and perceptual skills, emotional profile, spatial abilities and personality. They allow us to imagine a new approach to the design of large of large contemporary stations.

A comercialização de animais e seus produtos, dentro do país e para outros países, baseia-se no status sanitário em relação à febre aftosa e Estado do Pará foi dividido em 2008 em três áreas - livre da doença com vacinação (1), médio risco (2) e alto risco (3). No ano de 2010 houve uma alteração nesta classificação e a área 3 passou também para médio risco. Considerando que, o comércio e trânsito de bovinos e bubalinos só é possível mediante a vacinação compulsória de fêmeas contra brucelose, o objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar se houve relação entre as taxas de vacinação contra brucelose preconizado pelo Programa Nacional de Controle e Erradicação da Brucelose e Tuberculose (PNCEBT) e as alteração na classificação de risco das áreas delimitadas pelo Programa Nacional de Erradicação da Febre Aftosa (PNEFA). Os dados utilizados para análise consistiram nas taxas de vacinação do rebanho bovino contra brucelose nos anos de 2008 a 2011, disponibilizados pela Agência de Defesa Agropecuária do Pará. Em 2008, a área livre teve uma taxa de vacinação média de 36,3% e as áreas de médio e alto risco praticamente não diferiram entre si, com taxas médias respectivamente de 25,3% e 22,5%. No ano de 2011 houve um aumento significativo destas porcentagens em todas as áreas, observando-se médias de 61,7%, 50,9% e 48,3% respectivamente, também sem diferirem estatisticamente. A porcentagem de municípios da área 1 com índice de vacinação acima de 80% passou de 11,36% em 2008 para 58,3% em 2011 (aumento de 5,1 vezes); de forma semelhante a área 2 passou de 3,92% para 31,3% dos municípios (8 vezes) e a área 3 foi de 0% para 28%...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: The brucellosis and foot and mouth disease (FMD) are two economically important diseases affecting cattle that have as a major control measure compulsory vaccination and transit control. The marketing of animals and animal products within the country and to other countries is based on sanitary status in relation to FMD and the Pará State was divided, in 2008, into three areas - free of disease with vaccination (1), medium risk (2) and high risk (3). In 2010 there was a change in that classification and area 3 also went for medium risk. Considering that, trade and transit of cattle and buffaloes is only possible by mean of the compulsory vaccination of females against brucellosis, the aim of this study was to evaluate if there was any relation between the rate of brucellosis vaccination recommended by the National Program for Control and Eradication of Brucellosis and Tuberculosis (PNCEBT) and the areas delimited by the National FMD Eradication Program (PNEFA). The data vaccination from the herd used for the analysis consisted of the vaccination percentage (number of vaccinated/ total number) of females with 3-8 months old, during the years fo 2008 and 2011. In 2008, areas 1, 2 and 3 had an average vaccination rate of 36.3%, 25.3% and 22.5%, respectively, with significant difference between area 1 and the other. In 2011 there was a significant increase in immunization rates in all areas, observing averages of 61.7%, 50.9% and 48.3% respectively, without statistical difference. The percentage of municipalities within the free area with immunization rates above 80%, increased from 11.36% in 2008 to 58.3% in 2011 (up 5.1 times), the same as area 2, which increased from 3. 92% to 31.3% of the municipalities (8 times) and the area 3, that increased from 0% to 28%.

Considering that the number of penalty kicks wasted in official games is from 25 to 33% of the accomplished penalty kicks and the increase of the number of penalty kicks in official games, becomes evident the need of new investigations that can improve the kickers performance, with more necessary and efficient kicks being converted in goal. Therefore, the aim of this work was to identify, in penalty kicks, the joint angles of the ankle of the support member, during the positioning of the support foot, the distance between the support foot and the ball, the speed of exit of the ball with kicks converted in goal or wasted. The angles were calculated by the Euler angles. It was used a local bases system for the leg and foot of the support member, built starting from the fixation of passive markers in six bone prominences of interest. The study was composed by ten soccer players and one goalkeeper, all members of the adult soccer team of São Paulo State University – Rio Claro Campus. Each one of the players accomplished a series of ten penalty kicks. However, for analysis of the variables of interest only seven kicks of each participant were used in function of the occlusion of markers. The analyzed event consisted of the positioning of the support foot of the support member, given by the touch of the heel to the last contact to the ground, during the penalties kicks. The images were filmed by four digital cameras focusing the passive markers placed on the leg and foot of the participants. A fifty camera was placed out of goalkeeper’s great area with the purpose of focus from goal area, the identification of the kicks converted in goal or wasted. Further on, the cameras images were transferred to a computer and the cartesian coordinates of the passive markers were obtained through DVIDEOW software.

The types and characteristics of footwear affect de plantar pressures during gait and, if abnormal can cause foot pain and functional disability in this population. The aim of this study was verify the influence of aging on anthropometric and postural variables of elderly feet over a period of eight years (Manuscript I), and evaluate the foot anthropometry and plantar pressures during the use of different types of usual elderly footwear, with and without foot pain (Manuscript II). In the first study, 47 older people with average age of 76 (5.18) years were evaluated at three time points over eight years. In the second study 31 elderly women with average age of 75.9 (5.6) years were evaluated the foot anthropometry, the foot pain and the plantar pressures during the use of habitual footwear, with the Pedar system (Novel Eletronics, Munich, Alemanha). The values assigned to the characteristics of their footwear were also assessed. Appropriate statistical analyzes were conducted using the SPSS 17.0 software. There are subtle anthropometric differences in elderly feet, which suggests that intergenerational differences showed by literature to occur just prior to the study period. Older women who use flats have higher overload at hindfoot, and those with foot pain have less force at hallux during gait propulsion and higher force at midfoot. These women assign lower values to the walk, fit and comfort of their shoes. Footwear industries should produce specific products for the older people, with modern and functional design and flexible materials that contribute to the fit and comfort of the feet during gait. / Muitos estudos apontam diferenças antropométricas e posturais dos pés dos idosos quando comparados aos jovens, tais diferenças podem ser responsáveis pelo uso inadequado de calçados comumente verificado em idosos. As características e modelos dos calçados influenciam as pressões plantares durante a marcha e estas, quando anormais podem causar dor e incapacidades funcionais nesta população. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a influência do envelhecimento sobre variáveis antropométricas e posturais dos pés de idosos em um período de oito anos (manuscrito I), bem como avaliar as pressões plantares e antropometria dos pés de idosas durante o uso do seu calçado habitual (manuscrito II). No primeiro estudo, 47 idosos com média de idade de 76 (±5,18) anos foram avaliados quanto à antropometria dos pés em três momentos ao longo do tempo, totalizando oito anos de acompanhamento. No segundo estudo, 31 idosas com média de idade 75,9 (±5,6) anos foram avaliadas quanto à antropometria dos pés, à queixa de dor nos pés, às pressões plantares durante o uso do calçado habitual, por meio do sistema Pedar (Novel Eletronics, Munich, Alemanha), e aos valores atribuídos às características de seu calçado. As devidas análises descritivas e estatísticas foram conduzidas por meio do software SPSS 17.0. Há alterações antropométricas sutis nos pés de idosos avaliados, o que sugere que as diferenças intergeracionais apontadas pela literatura ocorram em momento anterior ao período estudado. Idosas que utilizam calçados tipo sapatilha apresentam maior sobrecarga na região do retropé, e aquelas com queixas de dor nos pés apresentam menor força no hálux durante a propulsão da marcha e maior forçaXtempo na região do mediopé, além de atribuírem menor valor à função, ao calce e ao conforto de seus calçados. Indústrias calçadistas devem fabricar produtos específicos para a população idosa, com design moderno e funcional, e materiais flexíveis que contribuam para a adaptação e conforto dos pés durante a marcha.

Nessa via de repaginação, o ficcionista adota como procedimento de escrita a inserção de elementos que têm significação extratextual na composição da trama romanesca. A partir dessa moldura enunciativa, este estudo investiga como se estabelece a relação de hipertextualidade entre o romance e o texto historiográfico da carta de Luiz de Froes de 1562. Com base na hipótese de que a narrativa em O outro pé da sereia constitui-se nos princípios da hipertextualidade, o foco da tese volta-se para a análise das conexões entre a construção estrutural da obra e o esquema de ação presente no texto historiográfico. O percurso investigativo adotado desenvolve-se com a análise dos recursos mobilizados para a configuração de tempos, espaços e personagens que estruturam o romance. O conceito de hipertextualidade, estruturado por Gérard Genette como o objeto de palimpsesto, será utilizado como aporte teórico para fundamentar o processo de derivação textual que se instaura entre os textos. / The structure of the novel The Mermaid's Other Foot (2006), by Mozambican writer Mia Couto, reveals a proposal for revisiting the distant or recent past. This is achieved through a symbiotic writing in which poetry and criticism harmonically set the tone of the dialogue established by fiction with events that marked the history of Mozambique. In this redesigning way, the fiction writer adopts as a writing procedure the insertion of elements which have extra-textual significance in the composition of plot. Based on this expository frame, in this study we investigate how the hypertextual relationship between the novel and Luiz de Froes´s 1562 historiographical text is established. Based on the assumption that the narrative The Mermaid´s Other Foot is constituted on the principles the hyper-textuality, our thesis focuses on the connections between the structural construction of the work and the present action scheme in the historiographical text. Our investigative route is developed with the analysis of the resources mobilized for the time, space and characters setting which shape the novel. The concept of hyper-textuality, structured by Gerard Genette as palimpsest object will be used as theoretical basis to support the process of textual derivation which is established between the texts.

Therefore, the aim of this work was to identify, in penalty kicks, the joint angles of the ankle of the support member, during the positioning of the support foot, the distance between the support foot and the ball, the speed of exit of the ball with kicks converted in goal or wasted. The angles were calculated by the Euler angles. It was used a local bases system for the leg and foot of the support member, built starting from the fixation of passive markers in six bone prominences of interest. The study was composed by ten soccer players and one goalkeeper, all members of the adult soccer team of São Paulo State University - Rio Claro Campus. Each one of the players accomplished a series of ten penalty kicks. However, for analysis of the variables of interest only seven kicks of each participant were used in function of the occlusion of markers. The analyzed event consisted of the positioning of the support foot of the support member, given by the touch of the heel to the last contact to the ground, during the penalties kicks. The images were filmed by four digital cameras focusing the passive markers placed on the leg and foot of the participants. A fifty camera was placed out of goalkeeper's great area with the purpose of focus from goal area, the identification of the kicks converted in goal or wasted. Further on, the cameras images were transferred to a computer and the cartesian coordinates of the passive markers were obtained through DVIDEOW software. It was identified an amplitude of 21.5° for ... / Mestre

Os distúrbios do pé e tornozelo são prevalentes na população em geral e uma das principais motivações para consultas de cuidados primários. A prevalência das disfunções da pisada, a avaliação da gravidade da deformidade biomecânica, assim como a avaliação da evolução do tratamento, normalmente são identificadas somente pela análise clínica e radiológica. No entanto, na prática, o diagnóstico realizado somente com este tipo de abordagem, excluindo a avaliação do recrutamento muscular associado às disfunções plantares, parece ser insuficiente para eleger o tratamento mais apropriado, considerando que o funcionamento eficaz do pé, depende também do correto funcionamento do sistema musculoesquelético. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo, identificar o método mais eficaz de análise do arco longitudinal medial (ALM) por meio da baropodometria computadorizada associada a avaliação eletromiográfica de superfície. Foram avaliados 43 indivíduos saudáveis, de ambos os sexos com idade entre 18 e 25 anos, por meio da Baropodometria Computadorizada, sendo adotados quatro métodos de análise do arco longitudinal medial que consistiram no: Índice do Arco Plantar de Chippaux-Smirak, Ângulo de Clarke, avaliação de Cavanagh-Rodgers, e Viladot. Após a avaliação, as classificações supracitadas foram submetidas a correlação de Spermann e Pearson, sendo comparadas com o recrutamento dos músculos Tibial Anterior, Fibular Longo e Gastrocnêmios bilateralmente. Estes valores foram determinados pela análise Eletromiográfica de Superfície (RMS) em unidade de μv. Foi possível constatar que o recrutamento dos músculos Gastrocnêmios (lateral e medial) apresentaram baixa correlação com todos os métodos testados. Já os músculos Fibular Longo (0,308) e Tibial Anterior (-0,308) apresentaram somente baixa correlação com o método de análise de Clarke. Portanto, com estes valores apresentados é possível afirmar que o método de Clarke é pouco confiável para a análise do arco longitudinal medial, como também os músculos Gastrocnêmios são pouco atuantes na formação deste. Já a classificação de Chippaux-Smirak e Viladot são mais indicadas para avaliação do ALM, sendo que a primeira se destaca em relação a segunda, pois os valores para o Tibial Anterior (53,9±9,6) e Fibular Longo (48,5±4,9) foram mais equivalentes quando avaliado o parâmetro de normalidade para a classificação do arco longitudinal medial. Portanto constatou-se que o método de Chippaux-Smirak foi a classificação mais eficaz a ser adotada na análise baropodométrica computadorizada para classificação do ALM. / The foot and ankle disorders are prevalent in the general population and one of the main reasons for primary care consultations. The prevalence of disorders of treading, assessing the severity of the biomechanical deformity, as well as evaluating the progress of treatment, are usually identified only by clinical and radiological analysis. However, in practice, the diagnosis made only with this approach, excluding the evaluation of the plantar muscle recruitment associated with dysfunctions seem to be sufficient to choose the most appropriate treatment, whereas the effective functioning of the foot, also depends on the correct functioning the musculoskeletal system. Thus, this study aimed to identify the most effective method of analysis of the medial longitudinal arch through baropodometry associated with electromyographic evaluation surface. We studied 43 healthy subjects of both sexes aged between 18 and 25, through baropodometry, being adopted four analysis methods of the medial longitudinal arch consisted of: Arch Index Plantar Chippaux-Smirak, Clarke angle, evaluation Cavanagh-Rodgers, and Viladot. After the evaluation, the above ratings were subjected to Pearson correlation Spermann and being compared with the recruitment of the anterior tibialis muscles, peroneus longus and gastrocnemius bilaterally. These values were determined by Surface electromyographic analysis (rms) in microvolts unit. It was found that the recruitment of the gastrocnemius muscles (medial and lateral) had low correlation with all methods. Have the peroneus longus muscles (0.308) and anterior tibialis (-0.308) showed only low correlation with Clarke analysis method. So with these figures presented it is clear that the Clarke method is unreliable for the analysis of the medial longitudinal arch, as well as the gastrocnemius muscles are not very active in the formation of this. Already Chippaux- Smirak and Viladot classification are more suitable for evaluation of ALM, the first of which stands out from the second, as the values for the anterior tibialis (53.9 ± 9.6) and peroneus longus (48, 5 ± 4.9) were more similar when evaluated the normal parameters for the classification of the medial longitudinal arch. Therefore it was found that the Chippaux-Smirak method was the most effective classification to be adopted computed baropodometric analysis for classification of ALM.
