The elbow joint is formed between the humerus in the upper arm and the radius and ulna in the forearm and allows the hand to be moved towards and away from the body. When the arm is extended forward, the humerus and forearm are not perfectly aligned a deviation occurs laterally towards the long axis of the arm, which is referred as the “carrying angle”. The present study includes 200 (100 rural and 100 urban) healthy peoples of rural and urban areas of Rajasthan region of age group 18-40 years were selected. Carrying angle was measured by manual goniometer made of flexible clear plastic having both the fixed and movable arms. From the study it was found that mean carrying angle was 12.40º±2.23º in males and 12.95º±2.58º in females of rural areas. The mean Carrying angle was found to be 10.15º±1.66º in males and 10.40º±1.81º in females in urban areas. Mean Carrying angle of male & female were found to be greater in rural areas than in urban areas and differences were statistically highly significant (p<0.01). The data obtained in our study may be useful in anthropological research, forensics, genetic research, as well as in medical clinical practice.
