Brief Summary

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of proprioceptive and neuromuscular training on landing errors and balance of the football players. This was randomized controlled trial in which 40 football players were randomly allocated into experimental and control group. The control group followed conventional exercise plan while experimental group players were being trained under Myklebust's training program. Data were collected at baseline and after follow-up of five weeks Landing Error Score System (LESS) and Biodex Single Leg Stability (SLS) score. Data were analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS)-21.

Conditions

Football Players; Sport Injury; Sports Physical Therapy

Keywords

ACL Injury; Landing Error Score System; Neuromuscular Training; Proprioceptive Training; Soccer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Landing Error Score System (LESS)

  Changes for the baseline, there are 17 items in LESS. Maximum possible score is 19 which show very poor mechanics and score of 5 and less than 5 are considered good to excellent.

  5th week

• Single Leg Stability

  Measures were obtained from 20-sec trials during which participants were asked to maintain an upright standing position on their dominant limb on the unstable surface of the Biodex Stability and Balance System.Its reliability is R = .94
