足紋의 진단적 가치에 대한 검토 = An Approach to the Diagnostic Values of the Sole Print Patterns

국문 초록 (Abstract)

足紋의 양상을 비교 분석한 것을 요약하면 다음과 같다.
엄지발가락 부위(拇趾球部, hallucal area)의 피문의 양상은 남자에 있어 distal loop는 대조군에 비해 정박아군의 좌우측 모두에서 유의하게 높은 빈도를 나타내었고, 특히 오른발의 tribial arch는 그 다음으로 많은 출현을 보였다. 여자는 대조군에 비해 tribial arch가 유의하게 높았었다.
엄지발가락 부위(hallucal area)의 좌, 우측 발바닥의 皮紋型出現에 있어서 對稱的인 경향을 조사한 바 두 군 모두에서 거의 대칭적인 것을 알 수 있었다.
엄지발가락(拇趾 hallux)의 피문의 양상은 남자의 경우 대조군, 정박아군 모두에서 fibular loop가 가장 많은 출현을 보였으나, tribial loop는 정박아군에서는 거의 나타나지 않았다. 여자의 경우 fibular loop는 대조군에 비해 정박아군에서 낮게 나타나며 arch는 대조군에 비해 현저히 높은 경향을 보였다.

Studies of dermatoglyphics has been paid much attention because of its significances of the diagnostic value to the congenital malformation and another disease.
Although there were many dermatoglyphic studies about the palm and fingertip carries out, however the sole has been lesser studied than palm or fingertip.
In this study authors aimed to observe and analyze hallucal area print patterns and hallux print patterns of 361, 153 normal male and female against 53, 51 male and female with mental retardation as a guidance of medical uses.
The result obtained were follows:
In hallucal are print patterns, it was discovered that distal loop was appeared notably high on the right and left sole in the mentally retarded male.
Tibial arch was notably increased in the mentally retarded female, and in the other types, no significant differences were observed.
In hllux print patterns, tibial loop was appeared very high in the mentally retarded male, on the other hand, tibial loop was not appeared absolutely.
In the female with mental retardation, fibular loop was showed significantly decrease but arch was appeared high. From these significant data, we could be sured that the analysis of hallucal area and hallux print pattern can be applied to the practical uses of medical diagnosis.
