Background: Identification is the starting point of criminal investigation and height estimation based on foot dimentions plays an important role in forensic identification also, it can be used to determine gender and age. A review on researches revealed little once had estimated the height by using the anatomical markers. The purpose of this study is to estimate the height by using longitudinal, transverse and angular index of the foot. Methods: This is a semi-experimental study. The static footprint of 20 males,10 to 12 years old, using ink system-paper was recorded. Then, by using ImageJ software, quantitative indices were achieved. Height was estimated through Linear Regression Analysis. Findings: Results showed that, the best variable for a predictive equation in height estimatin is CACL-A4 (SEE = 2.46, R2 = 0.51). Based on the findings, MPJ Width in metatrsophalangeal joint area is the weakest one for height estimation (R2 = 0.26). Conclusion: Results in a static footprint showed, the best index estimate the height is CACL-A4 while, in transverse indices, the arch width index is the best predictor.
Keywords: Estimation, Footprint, Static, Height.
