Brief Summary
|
Lower extremity
morphology plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal alignment, posture, and
biomechanical efficiency during functional activities. Variations in
anthropometric characteristics such as height, weight, body mass index, limb
length, and segmental girths may influence lower limb morphological features
including foot arch, knee alignment, and rearfoot orientation. Understanding the
association between morphological characteristics of the lower extremity and
anthropometric measures is essential for early identification of risk factors
and preventive physiotherapy strategies. The purpose of the study is to investigate the correlation
between morphological characteristics of the lower extremity [Foot arch index,
navicular drop test, rare foot angle, Q angle, intermalleolar distance(IM),
intercondylar distance(IC)] and anthropometric measures [Height, Weight, BMI,
thigh length, leg length, foot length, calf circumference, Bimalleolar width, mid-thigh
circumference, above knee circumference, ankle girth and forefoot girth] among
college-going students using a correlational study design. By evaluating the
correlation between these, we can design an effective treatment intervention. |
