Many a times Forensic Experts are asked to identify the person from dismembered part of the body and skeletal remains by the Investigating Officer. If the whole skeleton is available it becomes easy for identification, but the problem arises when only dismembered part of the body, few bones or single bone is available. In identification stature is primary characteristic along with age and sex. The present study is carried out in J. J. M. Medical College, Davangere, Karnataka. Total 100 students (50 males and 50 females) are randomly selected. The height of the students and length of both right and left Ulna of each student is measured by the same observer and with the same instrument. In this study we formulated the Regression Equation for estimation of stature from percutaneous length of right and left Ulna for males and females separately. Co-efficient correlation of height with percutaneous Ulna length is also calculated. The results of the present study indicate that the percutaneous length of ulna can be efficiently used for estimation of stature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
