Sexual dimorphism in foot length proportionate to stature

open access: yesAnnals of Human Biology, 2005
The preponderance of existing results suggests that, relative to stature, women have smaller feet than men. However, several investigations indicate that the relationship between foot length and stature may be curvilinear, a pattern that, due to the dimorphic nature of stature, would mask the true direction of pedal sexual dimorphism in published ...

Short Foot Length

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2004
Among the fetal skin disorders, harlequin ichthyosis is the one that has specific sonographic features in the antenatal period. A few cases of antenatal diagnosis of harlequin ichthyosis with typical facial features of ectropion and eclabium have been described. The manifestation of the phenotype is usually in the third trimester. Fetal skin biopsy can

Hand and foot length in Prader-Willi syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics, Part A, 1991
AbstractSmall hands and feet (acromicria) are often cited as manifestations in the Prader‐Willi syndrome (PWS), but it has been our experience that these are not universal findings. To address this issue, we obtained longitudinal and cross‐sectional data, retrospectively and prospectively, including height, hand length, and foot length, on 56 patients ...

Preservation of Residual Foot Length in Partial Foot Amputation: A Biomechanical Analysis

Foot & Ankle International, 2006
Background: Partial foot amputation may be preferred to more proximal amputation because of the perceived improvement in function associated with preserving foot length and the ankle joint complex, thus enabling normal gait and push-off. Clinically, partial foot amputees display significant wasting of the triceps surae musculature, strongly indicative

Foot Length Measurement from Foot Print for Identifying a Newborn at Risk

Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1988
Coordinated suckling and swallowing and thereby successful nipple feeding is possible in most newborns at 34 weeks gestation. However the birthweight at which this is achieved is very different. If a simple method of maturity assessment were available gestational age an appropriate cut-off point may become a logical choice for detecting a newborn at ...

Sex, handedness and asymmetry of hand and foot length

Neuropsychologia, 1982
Measurements of the length of the hands of 156 4-9 yr old children revealed a significant association among sex, handedness and direction of asymmetry of hand-length. Right-handed males have longer right than left hands while non-right-handed males have longer left than right hands (P less than 0.005).

Multiplier Method for Predicting Adult Foot Length

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2006
Lower and upper limb lengths and total height can be predicted by the multiplier method. The multiplier is a coefficient that corresponds to each age and gender. The coefficient for any age can be multiplied by the length at that age to give the length at skeletal maturity. Our purpose was to calculate foot length multipliers and determine whether they

Height Estimation from Foot and Shoeprint Length

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1991
Abstract Foot length displays a biological correlation with height that suggests the latter might be estimated from foot- or shoeprints when such evidence provides an investigator the best or only opportunity to gauge that aspect of a suspect's physical description.

Foot length in newborns small for gestational age

Tropical Doctor, 2015
Small for gestational age (SGA) newborns have increased neonatal morbidity and mortality besides having a high risk of contracting chronic diseases during adult life. We compared foot length among 700 SGA and AGA newborns. Foot length was shorter in SGA newborns, both in term and preterm babies.

“Foot length—A functional parameter for assessment of height”

The Foot, 2012
The foot print provides a range of dimensions. Every individual has got a peculiar print. Hence, is being used for personal identification. Foot and foot print dimensions are concomitant with the height of an individual. An attempt was made to find out its correlation.
