Reply to: Evaluation of the medial longitudinal arch: a comparison between the dynamic plantar pressure measurement system and radiographic analysis

We have read the article “Evaluation of the medial longitudinal arch: a comparison between the dynamic plantar pressure measurement system and radiographic analysis” by Yalç›n et al.[1] with interest. We want to congratulate the researches. However, we would like to share some questions related to this study with you. The medial longitudinal arch varies with age as the authors indicated. Although the wide sampling age range (11-85 years) compatible with the universe of patients encountered in the daily practice is an advantage, this can be cause problems in “definition” and “interpretation” of an age-related parameter and affect the error rate of inferences. In this context, having similar number of patients in predefined age ranges and making statistical evaluation accordingly will minimize error when interpreting the results.
