Comparative Study Of Carrying Angle Between Dominant And Non-Dominant Limb In Normal Young Girls

Abstract

Background: The angle subtended by the long axis of the arm and the long axis of forearm in the frontal plane when the elbow is fully extended and the forearm is supinated. Normal degree of Carrying angle is 5?-15? but in females it is varies on 5?-18?. The apparent difference in gender may be because of increased joint laxity in females permitting a greater degree of extension. Comparative study of carrying angle between dominant and non-dominant limb in normal young girls. This study aimed comparison of between dominant and non-dominant limb data obtained by clinical method in 18 – 20 years normal young girls. Material And Methods: Carrying angle was measured in 141 students of girls in manual method with goniometer. Result: In girls carrying angle dominant limb was greater than non-dominant limb in girls. Conclusion: The study we conducted there is no significance difference in carrying angle among females in both dominant and non-dominant limb in young girls.
