Brief Summary

Abstract Background/aim: Little is known about the relationship between hallux valgus and the alignment of proximal joints. Dynamic knee valgus is a movement pattern characterized by excessive knee abduction along with femoral adduction, internal rotation, and relative external tibial rotation. It is more prevalent in females and exacerbates during landing in jumping, predisposing athletes to injuries. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of hallux valgus deformity on dynamic knee movement pattern and lower extremity injuries in athletes. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study. The study included 92 athletes with at least 3 years of experience in their respective sports.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Drop Jump Test

  The drop jump test from a 30cm platform was conducted, and images captured during the test were analyzed in 2D using Kistler+Noraxon Measurement Device cameras. Two cameras were used, one placed in the coronal plane to view the participant from the front, and the other placed in the sagittal plane to view from the left side. Reflective markers were attached to the reference points for measurements

  30 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Hallux Valgus Angle Measurement

  10 minutes

Study Arms (1)

Weightlifters and Judo Athletes

At least 3 years of experience in their respective sports. Athletes without acute injuries that could affect performance tests were included.

Other: No intervention
