Summary

It has been shown that especially adolescent female athletes have a very high risk of injury compared to males. Gender differences (anatomical, biomechanical, neuromuscular and hormonal differences) contribute to the increased risk of injury. Basketball, one of the sports preferred by adolescent girls, brings with it high risks of injury due to the high participation rate among team sports. The occurrence of lower extremity injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament injuries and patellofemoral pain during dynamic activities (e.g., landing, running, etc.) has been associated with dynamic knee valgus, a pattern of lower extremity malalignment. At the same time, weakness of the core muscles and inadequate ankle dorsiflexion joint range of motion also contribute to the injury. The aim of this study is to examine the correlation between landing biomechanics, core endurance and ankle dorsiflexion angle in adolescent female basketball players with dynamic knee valgus.

Interventions

Frontal Plane Projection Angle

Participants will stand with their feet aligned in the sagittal plane and their arms crossed across their chests. By prior instruction, subjects will be asked to squat up to 60º knee flexion in a controlled manner without losing their balance, before returning to the starting position. Digital recordings of the frontal plane will be made while individuals perform a single-leg squat test at 60º knee flexion 3 times.
