| Article Name : | | | A RELATIONSHIP STUDY OF SPINAL CURVATURE WITH SKELETAL MASS AMONG TRIBAL CHILDREN AND ASSESS THEIR SPINAL ABNORMALITIES | | Author Name : | | | Santu Dhara | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | ISRJ-369 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile | | Abstract : | | | Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to find out the Relationship between Skeletal Mass (SM) of tribal school children and their lateral spinal curvature status in the form of both Thoracic Vertebral Curvature (TVC) and Lumber Vertebral Curvature (LVC). Methodology: Twenty eight male tribal children (N=28), age ranged from 13-16 years were taken as the subjects from ‘Nayantara Charitable Truest’, Birbhum District, W.B, India. To measured the skeletal mass researcher was taken Biepicondylar Humerus breadth (HB), Bistyloideus breadth (WB), Biepicondylar Femur breadth (FB), Bimalleolar breadth (AB) and height (ht) in nearest centimeter respectively and put it all in the Drinkwater’s Estimation of Skeletal Mass formulas (1986): [1] S (kg) = [(HB + WB + FB + AB) / 4]2 × ht × 0.92 kg × 0.001. ‘Inclinometer’ was used to measure the degrees of angle of total TVC (C7 and T12) and LVC (T12 and S1) [4]. Descriptive Statistic and Coefficient of Correlation “r” were applied and level of significance was set at 0.05 levels. Findings: there was a significant negative co-relational exist on Skeletal Mass (SM) with Lumber Vertebral Curvature (LVC). | | Keywords : | | - skeletal mass (sm)
