Abstract

Background and Objectives: Forensic investigation necessitates estimation of age, sex, stature and weight of human individual. Researchers all over the world studied various human parts in different ways. Both halves of human body are fairly symmetrical. It is assumed that each body part is having some relation with other part. Present study was conducted with the aim to study the relationship between hand and foot dimensions. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted amongst 1000 participants (500 male and 500 female) of ESIC Institute Gulbarga over a period of 14 months. Hand and foot dimensions were measured. Results: Significant correlation was observed between hand and foot dimensions in both sexes and on both sides. Correlation co-efficient ‘r’ and Linear regression equation was calculated. Interpretation and Conclusion: Statistically significant correlation was observed between hand and foot dimensions of both side sin both sexes. This data would be useful for forensic investigations and anthropometric studies.

Keywords: Correlation; Hand Length; Hand Breadth; Foot Length; Foot Breadth; Linear Regression Coefficient; Crime.
