Abstract :
Aims and Objectives: a. By knowing the carrying angle one can explore the height in both the sexes and vice versa. b. It has medicolegal and ethnic importance.
150 normal subjects, out of which 68 males and 82 females were selected for study. The mean value of height of males was 170.2 (SD 7). Mean value of Left carrying angle in males was 163.6 (SD 6.1). The mean value of degree of right carrying angle in males was 169.8 (SD 4.4). In females the mean value of height was 155.6 (SD 5.9).The mean value of left carrying angle in females was 164.9 (SD 3.6). Mean value of right carrying angle in females was 171.2 (SD 3.4). The t ‘test value for height was 13, 7, for left carrying angle was 8.5, for right carrying angle it was 8.6. All these values were statistically highly significant (P
