Introduction: Anthropology is the science of body sizes evaluation in living people which is applied in both medical and non-medical professions. The main purpose of the study is the evaluation of foot growth from birth to the age of 10 in folk Fars girls of Birjand and to make an archive of the data and to study symmetry based on anthropometry and dermatoglyphy. Methods: In this study, t...

OBJECTIVES The relative influences of hypoxia and other environmental stressors on growth at altitude remain unclear. Previous work demonstrated an association between peripheral arterial oxygen saturation (Sp O2 ) and anthropometry (especially tibia length) among Tibetan and Han children at altitude. We investigated whether similar associations exist among Andeans, and the patterning of associ...

The objective of the research was to study of foot anthropometry of children aged 7-12 years in the South of Thailand Thirty-three dimensions were measured on 305 male and 295 female subjects with 3 age ranges (7-12 years old). The instrumentation consists of four types of anthropometer, digital vernier caliper, digital height gauge and measuring tape. The mean values and standard deviations of...

The accuracy of data derived from linked-segment models depends on how well the system has been represented. Previous investigations describing the gait of persons with partial foot amputation did not account for the unique anthropometry of the residuum or the inclusion of a prosthesis and footwear in the model and, as such, are likely to have underestimated the magnitude of the peak joint mome...

Manual lifting is a necessary job duty that frequently associated with occupational damage. The main goal ofstrategies to lower the risk of injuries make sure workers are physically capable performing essential jobduties safely. aim this study was investigate anthropometric characteristics manual liftingactivities. Three hundred and eighty-four (384) subjects comprising 337 males 47 females fro...

Developed anthropometric measurement systems for the foot are static. However, important changes occur in the 3D shape of the foot during walking. This study deals with computer vision techniques to obtain the 3D foot shape at different step moments during the gait cycle. The foot shape evolution is estimated by comparing the 3D reconstruction of the foot surface at different gait steps. This m...
