No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effects of neuromuscular and Pilates exercise programs compared with a control group in young adults with dynamic knee valgus (DKV). Thirty-six participants were randomly assigned to neuromuscular, Pilates, or control groups. The intervention groups completed a supervised exercise program three times per week for six weeks (18 sessions).

The primary outcome is the frontal plane projection angle (FPPA) during single-leg tasks. Secondary outcomes include muscle strength, balance, and vertical jump performance.

Conditions
