Estimation of stature is an important step in developing a biological profile for human identification. It may provide a valuable indicator for unknown individual in a population. The aim of this study was to analyses the relationship between stature and lower limb dimensions in the Malaysian population. The sample comprised 100 corpses, which included 69 males and 31 females between age ranges...

A total of 143 growth clinic visitors agreed to participate in the study. Out of the 143 subjects, 37 children with height below the fifth percentile (short stature group) and 58 children with height above the twenty-fifth percentile (norm...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether stature recovery and paraspinal muscle activity can be altered in individuals with and without chronic low-back pain by assuming different unloading positions. DESIGN A case-control study considering the effects of unloading position on stature recovery in individuals with and without chronic low-back pain. BACKGROUND Stature recovery has been documented to be...

background robinow syndrome is a rare congenital disorder with phenotypically heterogeneous abnormalities. two modes of inheritances are known for this syndrome namely autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant. case report we describe here an eighteen-month-old child who had mesomelic short stature, abnormal facial features, clinodactyly, micropenis and vertebral changes which were further sup...

INTRODUCTION Measurement of stature is a prerequisite for determination of the normal lung function since reference equations are based on stature (standing height). We investigated the optimal method for measuring stature and for testing the current practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS We measured the stature of 87 subjects using a digital-counter stadiometer and a wall-mounted bench rule. Stature...

The present study aims to reconstruct stature among male and female Shia Muslims of Delhi using lower limb dimensions. To this aim the stature, femur length, tibial length, fibular length, foot length and foot breadth were recorded on each subject using the standard measurement techniques recommended by Martin and Saller 1 The data is composed of 1011 Shia Muslims (503 males and 508 females) wi...

Background: Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare, autosomal recessive (AR) and multifactorial disorder. A high prevalence of FA observed in Iran is perhaps due to the high rate of consanguineous marriages. This study investigates the extent of short stature in patients with FA, the frequency of hypothyroidism in FA and the correlation between height and hypothyroidism. Methods: Eighteen patients with ...
