Functional and morphologic examinations of the feet of 100 sewing-machine-workers have been performed, and a comparison with a control group. The relative frequency of radiological changes was similar in both groups, most commonly on metatarso-phalangeal joints, on the tarsus and in the form of a spine of Achilles tendon. However, clinical and functional changes were significantly more often on the feet of sewing-machine-workers, which were perimalleolar oedema, metatarsalgia and hallux valgus. The changes are more often and serious parallelly to the age and duration of employment, they are more common on the forefoot, and markedly influence the working ability. Concerning the shape of foot, more changes were found on an "egyptian" than on a square foot. Summation of microtraumas and previous changes on the foot (before getting employed) contribute to the development of the found changes.
对100名缝纫机工人的足部进行了功能和形态学检查，并与对照组进行了比较。两组的放射学改变相对频率相似，最常见于跖趾关节、跗骨以及跟腱骨刺的形式。然而，临床和功能改变在缝纫机工人的足部明显更常见，表现为踝关节周围水肿、跖痛症和拇外翻。这些改变与年龄和工作年限平行出现的频率更高且更严重，在前足更常见，并且明显影响工作能力。关于足型，“埃及足”比方足出现的改变更多。足部的微创伤积累以及先前的改变（在就业前）促成了所发现的改变的发展。
