Aim: In this study an attempt has been made to derive a linear regression equation for estimation of stature from the length of foot. Background: Estimation of stature from foot length is considered as an important parameter in medico-legal and forensic examinations. When highly decomposed and mutilated dead bodies with fragmentary remains are brought for postmortem examination, it becomes difficult to identify the deceased. Material Methods: The present study is conducted on 506 medical students 255 male and 251 female of age group between 18 - 25 years, was conducted at Index medical college hospital and research center Indore. The measurements were taken by using standard anthropometric instruments are the - I. Standard flexible steel tape. II. Spreading caliper (0-300 mm). Results: The observed data was subjected to statistical analysis like ‘t’ test for correlation coefficient. The value of ‘t’ was found to be statistically significant. Simple linear regression equation derived has been used for estimation of height. Conclusion: It is concluded that the foot length provides good reliability in estimation of stature in forensic examinations & in medico legal cases and the correlation between present parameters can be helpful in medico-legal cases for identification of individuals. Regression equation derived can be of help in artificial limb centers for construction of prosthesis required in cases of amputations following gangrene, trauma, frostbite etc.
