Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Establishment of normative reference values of Charakokta Angula Pramana for Shirogreevagata Pratyanga (head and neck parts) in healthy individuals. These include the measurement of Ayurvedic units (Angula) for structures such as Mastaka (head), Lalata (forehead), Nasika (nose), Ostha (lips), Karnas (ears), and Greeva (neck) as described in classical Ayurvedic texts (Charaka Samhita). The aim is to standardize these anatomical structures based on traditional measurements.Timepoint: 4weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome 1: To evaluate the influence of demographic & constitutional factors (such as age, gender, height, & Ayurvedic Prakriti) on variations in Angula Pramana. This helps in understanding whether these traditional measurements vary significantly with biological & Ayurvedic parameters. Outcome 2: To determine the degree of deviation or alignment between Ayurvedic (Angula-based) & modern (millimeter/cm-based) craniofacial measurements. This may help identify if traditional measures can be reliably used in current anthropometric studies or clinical applications. Timepoint: 4 weeks | — |
