ANALYSIS OF FOOT WIDTH AMONG ADOLESCENT FEMALES WITHIN DIFFERENT BODY MASS INDEX STRATA – A CROSSSECTIONAL STUDY
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Human foot is the region most affected by anatomical variations in the entire human body. The bones of the foot do not lie in a horizontal plane. Instead, ground with the support of ligaments and muscles, they form longitudinal and transverse arches. The present study is thus a attempt with subsequent evidence for analysis of width of foot among adolescent females within different body mass index strata among adolescent females. . In general, body mass index is classified as underweight (< 18.49) normal (18.5-24.9) overweight (25 – 29.9) and obese (>30). In the current study statistical analysis of foot width between these four Body mass index groups by ANOVA was done. High statistical significance ( p value < .001) of foot width right, foot width left between the four BMI groups were observed by ANOVA. Knowledge of the pedographic findings is helpful to anatomists, orthopaedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, physiotherapists, orthoses manufacturers and foot wear designers.
