Association of leg heel alignment, tibial torsion, and Q-angle. In bilateral lower limbs with normal weight, overweight and obese women, aged 30-40 years

      Аннотация: An analytical cross sectional study was undertaken, with an objective to study the association of leg heel alignment, tibial torsion, Q-angle in bilateral lower limbs with normal weight,overweight, and obese women aged 35 to 45 years. Participants were selected, as per the set inclusion criteria,and were classified on the basis of their BMI (kg/m2) in three groups.The results obtained showed significant increase in the Q-angle, tibial torsion and leg heel alignment in the overweight and obese women as compared to normal weight women. The study concludes that there was a significant association in terms of correlation between Q-angle, tibial torsion and leg heel alignment with BMI in normal weight, overweight and obese women.
