Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 8
Abstract
Dermatoglyphic study of fingertip and palmar patterns had been done extensively in various genetic and metabolic diseases. It appears that plantar dermatoglyphics has been neglected. So the present study is undertaken to know the sexual difference in plantar dermatoglyphics. Dermatoglyphic foot prints of 100 males and 100 females of age between 17 to 50 years from Government Medical College, Aurangabad were taken. Foot prints were taken by usual methods. Various patterns like Arches, Loops (tibial, fibular, proximal, distal), Whorls, Vestiges & open fields were studied. Triradial count, a-b ridge count & total toe ridge count were analyzed in male and female. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of sole prints was done. Complex patterns like Loops and whorls were significantly higher in males than females. Simple patterns like open fields were significantly higher in females than males. Total toe ridge count, triradial count and a-b ridge count were significantly higher in males than females. From this it appears that male shows more complex pattern than females which can give and additional information regarding the identity of and individual.
