Relationship Between Iliac Crest Dimensions and Pelvic Breadth Among Young Adults

Abstract

The study examines the relationship between iliac crest dimensions and pelvic breadth among young adults. The iliac crest forms the superior border of the ilium and represents an important structural component of the pelvis. Its dimensions contribute to the overall configuration of the pelvic girdle and may vary among individuals. Understanding the relationship between iliac crest dimensions and pelvic breadth may provide useful information on pelvic morphology and may have relevance to anthropometric assessment, anatomical identification, clinical evaluation, and biomechanical studies. The study aims to determine the dimensions of the iliac crest and pelvic breadth among young adults and establish the relationship between selected iliac crest measurements and pelvic breadth. It will specifically assess selected dimensions of the iliac crest and overall pelvic breadth and determine the strength and direction of the association between these anatomical measurements. A cross-sectional descriptive research design will be adopted for the study. Young adults who meet the predetermined inclusion criteria will be selected using an appropriate sampling technique. Iliac crest dimensions and pelvic breadth will be assessed using standardized anthropometric procedures and appropriate anatomical landmarks or imaging-based methods where required. The collected data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, while correlation analysis will be used to determine the relationship between iliac crest dimensions and pelvic breadth. The study is expected to reveal measurable variation in iliac crest dimensions and pelvic breadth among the participants. A statistically meaningful relationship may be observed between selected iliac crest measurements and pelvic breadth, with the strength and direction of association varying across the measured parameters. The findings are also expected to provide information on the extent to which iliac crest dimensions correspond with overall transverse pelvic dimensions within the study population. The findings are expected to provide useful anatomical reference information for anatomists, anthropologists, orthopaedic practitioners, radiologists, physiotherapists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the assessment of pelvic structure and function. The results may contribute to improved understanding of pelvic morphology, anthropometric assessment, interpretation of pelvic imaging, and the development of population-specific anatomical reference data. The study will conclude by determining the relationship between iliac crest dimensions and pelvic breadth among young adults. It will recommend the use of standardized anatomical and anthropometric measurement procedures in future studies and encourage further research involving larger and more diverse populations to establish broader reference data on iliac crest morphology and pelvic dimensions.
