Even measurements of parts of the body, such as a finger, can be used to estimate the stature. [3] [4] The principle behind this forensic anthropology technique is the fact that for a given combination of age, race, and gender there measurements of different body parts which have a relationship to the stature. This relationship between the ...
By knowing all the variables associated with height, a more accurate estimate can be made. For example, a male formula for stature estimation using the femur is 2.32 × femur length + 65.53 ± 3.94 cm. A female of the same ancestry would use the formula, 2.47 × femur length + 54.10 ± 3.72 cm. [38]
On X-rays, there is generally measurement of both the femur and the tibia, as well as both combined. [4] Various measuring points for these have been suggested, but a functional method is to measure the distances between joint surfaces: [4] Femur length: The superior aspect of the femoral head and the distal portion of the medial femoral condyle.
Dynamic compression plate. A dynamic compression plate (DCP) is a metallic plate used in orthopedics for internal fixation of bone, [1] typically after fractures.As the name implies, it is designed to exert dynamic pressure between the bone fragments to be transfixed.
A Bertillon record for Francis Galton, from a visit to Bertillon's laboratory in 1893. The history of anthropometry includes and spans various concepts, both scientific and pseudoscientific, such as craniometry, paleoanthropology, biological anthropology, phrenology, physiognomy, forensics, criminology, phylogeography, human origins, and cranio-facial description, as well as correlations ...
A skeleton in a bioarchaeology lab. Paleodemography studies demographic characteristics of past populations. [5] Bioarchaeologists use paleodemography to create life tables, a type of cohort analysis, to understand zdemographic characteristics (such as risk of death or sex ratio) of a given age cohort within a population.
Psychological problems related to lack of body height. [3] Types of anthropometric cosmetology: Anthropometric correction for tibia or femurs extension in a patient. Anthropometric distraction for tibia or femurs lengthening in a patient. Simultaneous distraction and correction in the process of changing the form of the patient's legs.
A practitioner can use a force plate to assess training needs, readiness to train, and also during the return to play process. Typical force plate assessments in sport include the countermovement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ), drop jump (DJ), countermovement rebound jump, and isometric mid thigh pull (IMTP).
