Summary

In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate the relationship between the dynamic valgus index and the dynamic valgus index during the landing phase of the single leg squat movement of sedentary people according to gender and to evaluate the effect of the postural alignment of the ankle and foot complex on the stability of the knee joint during the single leg squat.

Conditions

  • Woman's Role
  • Men's Role

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Sociodemographic profile, dynamic valgus index, single leg squat test, Q angle, Foot posture index, navicular drop test, pain assessment, muscle strength and flexibility tests

During the single leg squat test, they will be asked to perform a squat every two seconds without bending forward or sideways while maintaining their balance with their hands crossed over their chest. While performing the movement three (3) times in a slow and controlled manner, they will be recorded with a video camera positioned at 90 degrees to their full height (approximately 3m). This recording will be evaluated in computer environment with Kineovea 0.9.5 motion analysis program and dynamic valgus index will be calculated. Q angle will be measured with a goniometer in both standing and supine position. Medial longitudinal arch height will be measured by navicular drop test. Foot posture of the participants will be evaluated with the Foot Posture Index developed by Redmond et al. (2006) to evaluate foot posture.
