In modern literature there is not enough information about changes in the structure of the foot, not related to the pathology of the musculoskeletal system or diseases of the endocrine and other systems of the body, in persons older than 20 years. This formed the basis for the planning of this work.

We conducted a retrospective analysis of 300 protocols planographics surveys conducted using the software package «Diaskan», from patients ranging in age from 20 to 59 years from the archives of LLC «Klinika osanki». Results. The value of the indicator is higher for the left foot than for the right foot in all age groups.
