Dynamic arch index, foot size, hallux angle, and foot progression angle were recorded with a pedobarography platform. Linear mixed models were computed separately by sex and condition (sitting, standing, and walking) with group (dancer vs. control) as fixed effect and controlled for age and BMI. The proportions of dancers versus controls with a hallux valgus angle exceeding 15\u00b0 were analyzed with chi\u2010square tests for both sexes, and the influence of age, group (dancer vs. control), and sex were analyzed using a binary logistic regression model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The dancers' static arch height index was higher, and their forefeet were wider than in the controls in both sitting and standing conditions (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001), whereas only female dancers showed a greater dynamic foot progression angle (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.003) than the controls.
