In this note we present a method for recognition of flatfoot abnormality with the help of some new shape-measure describing numerically this abnormality efficient enough. The proposed measure can be easily implemented and used for automatic flatfoot level diagnosis. Experiments carried out on a number of the plantograms, analysed using the computer programme prepared by first of the authors, proved the usefulness of this new approach.
