Foot type classification for chinese children and adolescents

The objective of this study was to examine the three-dimensional foot shape data and determine foot type’s distribution among Chinese children and adolescents. A total of sixteen three-dimensional foot shape variables of 5,069 Chinese children were measured through filming, including 3 girth-related variables, 3 length- related variables, 2 width-related variables, and 8 height-related variables. Cluster analysis was performed to classify these three-dimensional feet data of Chinese children and adolescents into three identified foot types, namely Robust Feet, Slender Feet, and Flat Feet, which differed in terms of length, volume, and arch height. The distribution of the threefoot types varied across the different foot length groups. The foot types classification may be used in the design of shoe lasts and in the comfortable footwear manufacturing to minimize error fitting

3-(5-Chloro­naphthalene-1-sulfonamido)-2-(2-hy­droxy­eth­yl)-4,5,6,7-tetra­hydro-2H-pyrazolo­[4,3-c]pyridin-5-ium chloride

In the cation of the title compound, C18H20ClN4O3S+·Cl−, the tetra­hydro­pyridinium ring assumes a half-chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the pyrazole ring and the naphthalene ring system is 75.19 (6)°. In the crystal, ions are linked into a three-dimensional network by N—H⋯O, N—H⋯Cl and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and weak π–π stacking inter­actions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.608 (2) Å
