We determined the arch index of able-bodied indigenous Kenyan and Tanzanian individuals free of foot pain by using their dynamic footprints to classify the foot arch type and determine the prevalence of pes planus according to a previously described method. Males had a significantly higher arch index than females in both groups, and the prevalence of pes planus in Kenyans was 432 per 1,000 population, the highest ever documented and twice as high as that in Tanzanians (203 per 1,000 population). The arch index is useful in determining the prevalence of pes planus and possibly predicting pathologic foot conditions, and it may serve as an early warning sign of structural and functional defects of the foot in a given population.

The development of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities has created a new tool for investigations of the characteristics of speech problems. Forty intellectually and physically normal children with functional defects of articulation were tested with the ITPA. Performance of the group was compared with normative data reported for the test. The subjects scored lower than the norms on all subtests at the two levels of the test. Subtests most affected were in the auditory vocal channel.
