A study of lower limb deformities with physiological variables prevalence in school going children’s in south Kashmir region of Kashmir division
Author(s): Muzammil Ahmad Bhat and Dr. PS Sayar
Abstract:
The present study flashes light on a study of lower limb deformities with physiological variables prevalence in school going children’s in South Kashmir region of Kashmir division. The components chosen were distance between lower extremities, heart rate respiratory rate and vital capacity among school going children in different lower limb deformities (knock knees, bow legs and flat foot) of different schools of south Kashmir region of Kashmir division. The study was conducted on 300 male school going children as subjects and 100 subjects were selected from each deformity category i.e. 100 from knock knees, 100 from bow legs and100 from flat foot through purposive sampling method. The age of the subjects were ranging from 10-15 years. The collected data on selected criterion variables were statistically analyzed by using one-way ANOVA to find out the significant difference, whenever the interaction effect was found to be significant the simple effect and then least significant difference (LSD) post hoc test was applied to find out the critical difference. In all the cases 0.05 level of significance was fixed to test the hypothesis. Findings disclose that significant difference in distance between lower extremities while as insignificant difference was found between the Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate and Vital capacity. The data will serve as a tool to promote awareness among masses to improve the deformities at earlier stages. The study concludes with recommendations for an appropriate evaluative measures and early intervention programmes for such people.
