Completed

• Conditions: Knee Valgus

• Lead Sponsor: hazal genc

Brief Summary

Dynamic knee valgus (DDV) is an erroneous movement pattern of the lower limb that occurs in multiple planes. It results from a combination of hip joint adduction, femoral anteversion, knee abduction and external tibial torsion .

Detailed Description

Dynamic knee valgus (DDV) is an erroneous movement pattern of the lower limb that occurs in multiple planes. It results from a combination of hip joint adduction, femoral anteversion, knee abduction and external tibial torsion . DDV is also referred to as a mechanism in which the knee joint moves medially relative to the hip and foot with the centre fixed to the ground.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Frontal Plane Projection Angle (FPPA)	6 weeks	FPPA is measured as the angle between a line drawn from the marked point on the proximal thigh to the knee joint and another line extending from the knee joint to the ankle during maximum knee flexion. A 2D analysis is performed through single-leg squat (SLS), vertical jump (VJ), and single-leg landing (SLL). An increase of 10° or more in FPPA during a single-leg squat is categorized as "Observable Dynamic Knee Valgus (DKV)."
Lower Extremity Clinical Measurements	6 weeks	Clinical measurements help assess the functional performance of the lower extremities and prevent injuries. Key parameters include Q-angle, hip anteversion angle, tibial torsion, ankle dorsiflexion, and rearfoot angle. Standardized tests such as goniometer-based Q-angle measurement, Craig's test for hip anteversion, and subtalar joint neutral positioning for dorsiflexion are utilized.
Balance Evaluation	6 weeks	Static balance was assessed with the Single Leg Stance Test (SLST), while dynamic balance was evaluated using the Y Balance Test (YBT) in three directions: anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral.
Proprioception Assessment	6 weeks	Proprioception was evaluated using the Active Joint Position Sense (AJPS) test, which measures the ability to replicate a target angle. Measurements were conducted with a Baseline digital goniometer, and angular deviation was recorded to determine accuracy.
