A simple radiographic apparatus standardizing foot position and simulating weight-bearing effects in the feet is described in this paper. It provides an effective means of obtaining reliable radiographic data for both ambulatory and nonambulatory patients. This device is presently used in an on-going study on pes cavus in Friedreich's ataxia.
