A MODEL FOR STATURE PREDICTION OF PERCUTANEOUS LENGTH OF THE LOWER LIMB SEGMENT IN CROSS RIVER STATE
Abstract
Many forensic anthropologists have used the technique of estimating stature by creating linear regression equations that incorporate the features of human skeletal remains or fragmented body parts in order to identify victims of mass disasters, though each formula is specific to a particular ethnicity, age, or gender. The aim of the study is to develop a model for stature prediction of percutaneous length of the lower limb segment in cross river state. The study used 100 male and female subject with an age range of 18-32 to test. Method for measuring femur length were taken in centimeters using a measuring tape. Subjects were asked to stand erect and measurements were taken from the hip bone to the knee. Measurements of both the right and left leg were taken in centimeters using a measuring tape. With subject standing erect, the distance from the knee. The result revealed that the strongest correlations with stature in the combined sex was medial tibia length on both sides but weaker intercondylar from the both side. In conclusion, the study advances knowledge of the link between stature and percutaneous length in Cross River State. It also emphasizes how crucial it is to take sex-based disparities into consideration when making consideration on comparism of sex perdormance.
