However, among these patients, mostly worry about flat feet affect a child's future growth or athletic ability, from consult treatment guidelines. Past detection methods are required to take a long time or more procedures that may require radiation X-ray detection, quite complicated and inconvenient, and therefore how to detect flatfoot way to do to improve, to improve its way to simple, fast and accuracy, and can spread to health care facilities for everyone to do testing is a very necessary improvement. In this study, low-cost hardware devices, as well as Visual Basic software program designed to construct a low-cost measurement of flatfoot, foot images shot through the Web cam and green LED, through the Visual Basic software design is completed to measure the soles of the feet area and the foot part of the degree of difficulty, and the use of arch index to calculate the arch index values to make a judgment, aimed at all convenient, fast and accurate measure of whether patients with flatfoot.
