Title- The study of Quadriceps angle with correlation of Height in North Indian Adult Human Population.
Objective- The objective of the study is to establish the bilateral inconsistency in the mean Q- angle (Quadriceps angle) value in both male and female. This study is to examine the correlation between Q- angle (quadriceps angle) values and the Body height.
Background- Before taking the measurement, the persons were positioned such that the hips and knees were in extension, the quadriceps muscles were relaxed, and the legs and ankles were neutral. Following marking, one of the arms of the manual goniometric was placed such that the ASIS and the patellar middle point were combined, and the other arm was placed so that the tuberose as tibia and the patellar centre were collective. The measurement value was recorded after the manual goniometry was placed.
Subjects- The present study was done on 500 adult subjects (300 male and 200 female) of north Indian origin.
Methods- The Q angle is measured with a full circle universal manual goniometry which is made of clear steel with the subject standing in the erect weight-bearing position.
Result- The dimension of Quadriceps angle values in males from right side (mean 13.25) and from left side (mean 13.41) , the Q- angle values in females from right side (mean 16.97) and from left side (mean 16.35) (P<0.0001). The result shows that the Q- angle was more prominent in females than in males. The variation of Q-angle with dominant side revealed that left side of Q- angle (both males and females) was more often greater than right side.
Conclusion and Discussion- The Quadriceps angle value of both males and females decreases with increases in body height which shows a positive correlation with body height. Positive correlation exists between Quadriceps angle and Body height.
