Abstract :
BACKGROUND: Excess weight puts a strain on every part of the body. The position and function of the foot and ankle affect the stresses transmitted to the knee. OBJECTIVE: To measure and to find correlation between leg-heel alignment, Tibial torsion and Q angle in ideal, overweight and obese. STUDY DESIGN: Non experimental, observational study. PROCEDURE: 75 subjects were conveniently selected based on Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria and divided in to 3 groups. ideal subjects with BMI prime between 1.0 to 1.2 were Group- A, overweight subjects with BMI prime 1.0 to 1.2 were Group-B and obese subjects with BMI >1.2 were group C. Of each subject leg –heel alignment, Tibial torsion, Q angle will be measured using measuring tape, goniometer and correlation is studied. RESULTS: There was significant difference Q angle between ideal–Overweight (p=0.001), ideal–Obese (p=0.001), Obese – Overweight (p=0.001) in Right .ideal – Overweight (p=0.001), Normal –Obese (p=0.000) in Left. For leg heel alignment There was significant difference between ideal-Overweight, ideal-Obese, Overweight–Obese (p=0.000).
