This study also selected 92 children of the surveyed parents/guardians and measured the size of their feet and of the shoes they were wearing. In addition, this study conducted an experiment involving shoes worn by 3 subjects aged 4 to 7 to ascertain the effects of shoe size on gait. 1)Survey responses indicate that parents/guardians emphasized letting their children try on shoes rather than having their size measured when purchasing children’s shoes. However, parents/guardians who had their child’s feet measured were better able to select shoes that fit properly. 2)The measurements of the shoes and feet of the 92 children indicated that 10% of shoes were shorter than the length of the foot while 12% were the right size. 28% of shoes were 1 cm or longer than the length of the foot, and 18% of shoes were 1.5 cm or longer than the length of the foot. 3)The gait scanning experiment revealed that wearing shoes adjusted with a Velcro strip tight along the instep allowed a steady gait even if the shoes were 1 cm longer than the length of the feet. When the instep of shoes 1 cm longer than the length of the feet was loose, step width increased, the double support period was longer, and it caused an unstable gait. But the sensory evaluation revealed that the shoes 1 cm longer than their feet with a tight Velcro strip were considered very comfortable.}, pages = {2--10}, title = {子供靴のサイズによる歩容への影響}, year = {2019}, yomi = {ツノダ, ユミコ and タケウチ, モエホ} }
