Incidence of tibial torsion among tailors

Torsion is defined as the rotation of a portion of a bone along its longitudinal axis so that its upper and lower ends are not in the same plane. The lower extremities' shank section's alignment in an axial or transverse plane is referred to as tibial torsion. Aim of the study is to find out the prevalence rate of tibial torsion among tailors who use half-shuttle machines. For measuring tibial torsion angle goniometer was used and we found that external tibial torsion was more common than internal tibial torsion. According to the findings it was also found that it is more common in shop based tailors as compare to home based as they work continuous for long hours.扭转（Torsion）被定义为骨骼的某一部分沿其长轴发生旋转，致使其上下两端不在同一平面内。胫骨扭转（Tibial Torsion）是指下肢小腿段在轴位或横断位平面内的对线状态。本研究旨在调查使用半梭式缝纫机的裁缝人群中胫骨扭转的患病率。研究采用量角器测量胫骨扭转角度，结果发现外胫骨扭转的发生率高于内胫骨扭转。此外，研究结果还显示，与居家裁缝相比，门店裁缝的胫骨扭转患病率更高，这是因为门店裁缝需要长时间连续工作。
