Abstract

Purpose: The study aimed to analyze the tarsus and knee setting in 3-year-old girls and boys, taking into account the six-month age ranges.

Methods: The study involved 800 children (400 girls, 400 boys) recruited from randomly selected preschools in the in the Podkarpackie voivodeship. Study group was divided into two age ranges: 1st group (children aged 3.00-3.49 years) and 2nd group (children aged 3.50-3.99 years). Baseline goniometer (Fei Fabrication, Ltd., USA) was used as primary research tool. The data were analyzed based on Mann-Whitney U-test and Student's t-test for independent samples.

Results: Sex differences concern only the tibio-calcaneal angle in children in the 2nd age group (right: p < 0.001) and left p < 0.001). Statistically significant differences in both girls (right lower limb: p = 0.003; left lower limb: p = 0.002), and boys (right lower limb: p = 0.001; left lower limb: p = 0.001) were found.

Conclusions: Boys were characterized by greater valgus of the tarsus of the right and left foot than girls. Knees of girls and boys in the 1st age group were characterized by greater valgus, compared to children from the 2nd age group.

考虑到六个月的年龄范围，幼儿期最后阶段儿童的跗关节和膝关节设置。

目的：该研究旨在分析 3 岁女孩和男孩的跗骨和膝关节设置，同时考虑到 6 个月的年龄范围：研究涉及从波德卡尔帕克省随机挑选的幼儿园中招募的 800 名儿童（400 名女孩和 400 名男孩）。研究组分为两个年龄段：第一组（3.00-3.49 岁儿童）和第二组（3.50-3.99 岁儿童）。基线动态关节角度计（Fei Fabrication, Ltd., USA）被用作主要研究工具。数据采用曼-惠特尼 U 检验和学生 t 检验进行独立样本分析：结果：性别差异仅涉及第二年龄组儿童的胫骨-踝骨角（右侧：P < 0.001）和左侧（P < 0.001）。女童（右下肢：p = 0.003；左下肢：p = 0.002）和男童（右下肢：p = 0.001；左下肢：p = 0.001）的差异均有统计学意义：结论：与女孩相比，男孩的左右脚跗骨外翻程度更大。结论：与第二年龄组的儿童相比，第一年龄组的女孩和男孩的膝盖外翻程度更大。
