Heelball (HB) Index: Sexual Dimorphism of a New Index from Foot Dimensions
J Forensic Sci, January 2012, Vol. 57, No. 1 doi: 10.1111/j.1556-4029.2011.01960.x TECHNICAL NOTE Available online at: onlinelibrary.wiley.com ANTHROPOLOGY Kewal Krishan,1 M.Sc., Ph.D.; Tanuj Kanchan,2 D.F.M., M.D.; Neelam Passi,1 M.Sc.; and John A. DiMaggio,3 D.P.M. Heel–Ball (HB) Index: Sexual Dimorphism of a New Index from Foot Dimensions* ABSTRACT: The present research is aimed to introduce Heel–ball (HB) index from foot dimensions and determine whether this index exhibits sexual dimorphism. The study was conducted on a sample of 303 North Indian individuals (154 men, and 149 women) aged between 13 and 18 years. The stature, body weight, foot breadth at the ball (BBAL), and foot breadth at heel (BHEL) were measured. The HB index was derived by the formula BHEL · 100 ⁄ BBAL. Although the mean HB index was larger in women in both feet it showed statistically significant sex differences in the right foot only. The study shows that while the foot dimensions show a positive correlation with stature and weight, the HB index is indepen- dent of the stature and weight of an individual. This novel index (HB index) may be utilized in sex determination when a part of the foot is brought for medico-legal investigation.

Cyber Forensic Review of Human Footprint and Gait-Based System for Personal Identification in Crime Scene Investigation
Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 6 April 2018 doi:10.20944/preprints201804.0072.v1 Article Cyber Forensic Review of Human Footprint and Gait-based System for Personal Identification in Crime Scene Investigation Kapil Kumar Nagwanshi ID Rungta College of Engineering and Technology Bhilai, India * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +91-930-301-8770 1 Abstract: Human footprint is having a unique set of ridges unmatched by any other human being, and 2 therefore it can be used in different identity documents for example birth certificate, Indian biometric 3 identification system AADHAR card, driving license, PAN card, and passport. There are many 4 instances of the crime scene where an accused must walk around and left the footwear impressions 5 as well as barefoot prints and therefore it is very crucial to recovering the footprints to identify the 6 criminals. Footprint-based biometric is a considerably newer technique for personal identification. 7 Fingerprints, retina, iris and face recognition are the methods most useful for attendance record of 8 the person. This time world is facing the problem of global terrorism. It is challenging to identify the 9 terrorist because they are living as regular as the citizens do. Their soft target includes the industries 10 of special interests such as defense, silicon and nanotechnology chip manufacturing units, pharmacy 11 sectors. They pretend themselves as religious persons, so temples and other holy places, even in 12 markets is in their targets. These are the places where one can obtain their footprints easily. The gait 13 itself is sufficient to predict the behaviour of the suspects. -

Abstract Background: Foot morphometry is an important tool in gender identification in forensic investigations. Personal identification from feet is very pertinent as foot impressions are sometimes reported at crime scenes or feet are often recovered from the site of mass disasters. The present study has been aimed towards gender identification using specific foot measurements and feet impressions. It is based on the foot measurements and foot prints measurements carried out among 100 individuals including 50 males and 50 females residing in Delhi. Measurements namely foot length, foot breadth was taken and the foot Index was evaluated. Also, from the foot prints, breadth at the heel and breadth at the ball were measured and the heel- ball index was calculated. -
1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. FORENSIC SCIENCE the Term Forensics
Chapter – 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. FORENSIC SCIENCE The term forensics means application of science methods to the investigation of crime. Various enforcement agencies in the legal/ criminology department make use of forensic science to investigate and solve wildlife crime with the admissible evidence of scientific backing. The forensic science is the combination of two different Latin words i.e. Forensic and science. The second is science which is derived from Latin word for knowledge and is today closely tied to the scientific method and way of acquiring knowledge. The two words taken together forensic science is the methods and processes in crime solving. Forensic scientists collect, preserve, and analyze the evidence during the course of an investigation. Scientists, forest guards and other officials within the department travel to the scene of crime for surveillance through which they collect the evidence, amongst certain evidences requiring biological investigation is taken to the laboratory. The forensic scientists and other science personnel, use scientific techniques for analyzing the objects of evidences. The forensic science include many divisions liken Forensic Accounting / Auditing, Computer or Cyber Forensics, Crime Scene Forensics, Forensic Archaeology, Forensic Dentistry, Forensic Entomology, Forensic Graphology, Forensic Pathology wildlife forensics, Forensic toxicology, Forensic Psychology, Forensic Podiatry, Forensic Optometry Forensic Odontology Forensic Linguistics, Forensic Geology, Forensic, Forensic Entamology, Forensic Engineering, Forensic DNA Analysis, Forensic Botany, Forensic Narcotics, Forensic Anthropology, Forensic Serology, Forensic Ballistics, Digital Forensics, Criminology, Crime Scene Photography, Forensic Chemistry. It includes seven principles: 1. Law of individuality 2. Principle of exchange 3. Law of progressive change 4. Law of comparison 5. Law of analysis 6. -

“A Little Foot Note” a Pediatric Podiatry and Ankle Course
“A Little Foot Note” A Pediatric Podiatry and Ankle Course The foot is one of the more complicated parts of the body due to the ligaments, muscles, blood vessels, nerves and 26 bones. Abnormal pressure can cause deformities because the foot is so soft and pliable. According to DuPage Podiatry Medical Group, podiatrists consider the first year of life to be the most important. Bone formation (osteogenesis) begins during the prenatal development of the fetus. Week 6 of gestation; Week 8 of pregnancy o The arms and legs have grown longer, and foot and hand areas can be distinguished. o The hands and feet have fingers and toes (digits), but may still be webbed. This growth continues throughout adulthood to approximately 18-23 years of age. Infants and children have softer bones because they have not yet ossified. Ossification is when cartilage is synthesized into bone. There are two ways osteogenesis occurs, and both types form by replacing existing cartilage: 1. Intramembranous Ossification: Osteoblasts specialized cells in bone tissue that deposit calcium into the protein matrix of the bone (collagen). 2. Endochondral Ossification: Osteoclasts dissolve calcium previously stored away in bone and carry it to tissue when it’s needed. 1 One third of a bone’s components are collagen, which is a flexible, gelatin- like matrix. Bones formed during intramembranous period are called membranous bones, or dermal bone. These formations usually occur in bones such as cranial bones. Bones formed during the endochondral period are called cartilage bone, as in the formation of the long bones. Periosteal is the formation of successive thin layers of bone by osteoblasts between the underlying bone or cartilage. -

Nataraja Moorthy Abstract Forensic science works on physical evidence and hence the forensic investigators are searching for physical evidence in the crime scenes to identify the perpetrator and to solve the mystery. The significance of some evidence appears unknown or unimportant at the time of collection from crime scenes but seemingly important as the investigation proceeds. Foot print is important physical evidence found in many crime scenes such as homicide, burglary and sexual assault, but is simply ignored even in the initial stage of investigation, considering unimportant. Footprint based gait pattern analysis is currently used for person identification. Forensic podiatry is a sub discipline of forensic science in which specialized podiatric knowledge including foot and lower limb, used in the examination of foot-related evidence in the context of a criminal investigation. -
