Increased Femoral Anteversion and Physical Performance

NCT05882981 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: DT-04
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 44
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

It is important to determine how high femoral anteversion, which is one of the lower extremity malalignments, affects physical performance and to what extent it affects the daily life of the individual. As far as we know, there is no study on this subject except for a study conducted by Staheli et al. in 1977. Therefore, the investigators planned to determine whether and to what extent high femoral anteversion has an effect on physical performance in healthy young adults.

Conditions

High Femoral Anteversion; Muscle Strength; Flexibility; Functional Performance; Functional Capacity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Functional performance tests

  Single-leg and double-leg horizontal jump test will be used to evaluate lower extremity functional performance. The tests will be carried out according to the Eurofit test battery (Council of Europe, 1988).

  One day

• Functional capacity measurement

  Functional capacity will be evaluated with six minute walk test according to the ATS criteria.

  One day

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Sit and reach test

  One day

• Back-leg-chest muscle strength measurement

  One day

• Hand grip strength measurement

  One day

Study Arms (2)

Study group

22 young adults aged 17-26 years with high femoral anteversion.

Other: Sit and reach test; Other: Hand grip strength measurement; Other: Back-leg-chest muscle strength measurement; Other: Functional performance; Other: Functional capacity

Control group

22 young adults aged 17-26 years with normal femoral anteversion

Other: Sit and reach test; Other: Hand grip strength measurement; Other: Back-leg-chest muscle strength measurement; Other: Functional performance; Other: Functional capacity

Interventions

Sit and reach test OTHER

It will be used to measure the flexibility of the participants.

Control group; Study group

Hand grip strength measurement OTHER

Grip strength will be evaluated with a hand dynamometer in the position recommended by the American Association of Hand Therapists.

Control group; Study group

Back-leg-chest muscle strength measurement OTHER

An analog Back Leg-Chest dynamometer will be used to evaluate general muscle strength.

Control group; Study group

Functional performance OTHER

Single-leg and double-leg horizontal jump test will be used to evaluate lower extremity functional performance. The tests will be carried out according to the Eurofit test battery (Council of Europe, 1988).

Control group; Study group

Functional capacity OTHER

Functional capacity will be evaluated with six minute walk test according to the ATS criteria.
