Abstract

Background: Foot is a complex, multi-segmented structure. Each segment act in a coordinated manner to provide support and absorb shock during locomotion. Foot morphology differs among population groups. The objectives of this study were to determine the selected foot dimensions and foot shape of adult Bangalee females to find out any ethnic characteristics of their own. Materials and methods: The study was conducted on 200 Bangalee adult females within 18-44 years age. Foot length and foot breadth were measured by slide caliper. Foot index was calculated from foot length and foot breadth. Foot shape was determined from foot index by using a pre determined formula. Results: The mean value for length, breadth and index of foot in Bangalee females were 22.91±0.79 cm, 8.55±0.4cm and 37.35±1.92 respectively. Most of the participants (68%) had standard foot shape. 17.5% women had slender foot whereas14% had broad foot shapes. Conclusion: The results of this study should be useful for anatomists, anthropologists and forensic experts. JCMCTA 2020 ; 31 (1) : 54-57

孟加拉成年女性Chattogram足长、足宽和足形的人体测量学分析:一项观察性研究

背景:足部是一个复杂的多节段结构。在运动过程中，每个部分以协调的方式提供支撑和吸收冲击。足部形态在种群群中有所不同。本研究的目的是确定成年孟加拉女性所选择的足尺寸和足形，以找出她们自己的任何民族特征。材料与方法:研究对象为200名年龄在18-44岁的孟加拉成年女性。用滑动卡尺测量足长、足宽。脚指数由脚长和脚宽计算。脚型由足指数通过预先确定的公式确定。结果:孟加拉女性足长、足宽、足指数平均值分别为22.91±0.79 cm、8.55±0.4cm和37.35±1.92 cm。大多数参与者(68%)的脚型是标准的。17.5%的女性脚纤细，14%的女性脚宽。结论:本研究结果对解剖学家、人类学家和法医专家有一定的参考价值。Jcmcta 2020;31 (1): 54-57
