The study aimed to analyze the tarsus and knee setting in 3-year-old girls and boys, taking into account the six-month age ranges.
The study involved 800 children (400 girls, 400 boys) recruited from randomly selected preschools in the in the Podkarpackie voivodeship. Study group was divided into two age ranges: 1st group (children aged 3.00-3.49 years) and 2nd group (children aged 3.50-3.99 years). Baseline goniometer (Fei Fabrication, Ltd., USA) was used as primary research tool. The data were analyzed based on Mann-Whitney U-test and Student's t-test for independent samples.
Sex differences concern only the tibio-calcaneal angle in children in the 2nd age group (right: p < 0.001) and left p < 0.001). Statistically significant differences in both girls (right lower limb: p = 0.003; left lower limb: p = 0.002), and boys (right lower limb: p = 0.001; left lower limb: p = 0.001) were found.
Boys were characterized by greater valgus of the tarsus of the right and left foot than girls. Knees of girls and boys in the 1st age group were characterized by greater valgus, compared to children from the 2nd age group.
本研究旨在分析3岁女童和男童的跗骨和膝关节情况,并考虑六个月的年龄范围。
该研究纳入了从Podkarpackie省随机选取的幼儿园招募的800名儿童(400名女童,400名男童)。研究组分为两个年龄范围:第一组(3.00 - 3.49岁的儿童)和第二组(3.50 - 3.99岁的儿童)。使用基线测角仪(美国费氏制造有限公司)作为主要研究工具。数据基于曼 - 惠特尼U检验和独立样本的学生t检验进行分析。
性别差异仅涉及第二年龄组儿童的胫跟角(右侧:p < 0.001;左侧:p < 0.001)。在女童(右下肢:p = 0.003;左下肢:p = 0.002)和男童(右下肢:p = 0.001;左下肢:p = 0.001)中均发现了具有统计学意义的差异。
男孩左右脚跗骨外翻程度大于女孩。与第二年龄组的儿童相比,第一年龄组的女童和男童膝关节外翻程度更大。
