ABSTRACT
Background And Objectives:
The study has been done to find out correlation between different parameters of foot. The aim and objective are to develop a model to reconstruct a stature from foot breadth. The study is carried out in 285 asymptomatic healthy adults 149 Males and 136 Females between 18-23 years of age, belongs to different region of Gujarat. Materials AndMethods:
Foot breadth and foot length were measured with sliding calliper and stature was measured by a standard anthropometer rod in erect anatomical position. Observation AndResults:
Obtained data was statistically analysed, and a significant correlation of stature was observed with foot breadth and foot length with foot breadth on both Rt. And Lt. side in males and females. Linear regression equations were derived to calculate foot length and stature from foot breadth. Interpretation AndConclusion:
A highly significant correlation coefficient (p-value 0.0000) has been found between different parameters of foot on both Rt. and Lt.side in males and females. So stature can be more accurately calculated by foot breadth than long bones. The findings are useful to anatomists, criminologists, human biologist and forensic medicine experts.
