Foot Deformity, Bow Leg, Knock Knee and Himalayan RegionsAbstract
Foot deformity is a term that includes a range of conditions that may affect the bones, tendons, and muscles of the foot. Among those most frequently found were knock knee and bow legs. Although these deformities can occur to all age group people but the children are most vulnerable to these deformities. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to compare the prevalence of foot deformities among the male school children of greater and inner himalayan regions. A total of 100 (50 from each region) school children in the age range of 10 – 15 yrs were selected as the sample of the study. The knock knee and bow legs were measured by measuring the intermalleolar and intercondylor distance respectively. To analyze the data multivariate analysis of variance was employed. Results of the study showed that there was a significant difference in the prevalence of knock knee and bow legs in greater and inner himalayan regions of Himachal Pradesh.
