Plain radiographs of the feet, pelvis, and spine were analyzed. The calcaneal pitch angle for flatfoot, pelvic obliquity, and the Cobb angle for spinal asymmetry were measured. After all of the analyses were completed, participants were divided into two groups\u2014unilateral or bilateral flatfoot, depending on the calcaneal pitch angle measurements\u2014and compared.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    There was no significant difference in age between groups (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .609).
