CO-RELATION OF HEIGHT WITH FOOTLENGTH, FOOTBREADTH AND FOOTHEIGHT OF AN INDIVIDUAL
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Clinical Research - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Footlength has been found to be a simple & effective method in human growth monitoring. Studies have been carried out in estimation of height from footlength as measured from footprints or shoe size & regression equation are derived. However, little attention is given to footbreadth and footheight as anthropological parameters. Present study included all the three parameters in subject population which varied from fetuses to adults and the appropriate anthropometric instruments were used for these for these measurements. Such type of data can be great assistance in medico-legal studies and foot reconstruction surgeries.
