简要总结
Purpose: To investigate the association between talar hypomobility, deep squat performance, and foot and ankle function in athletes with sports-related foot and ankle injuries.
Rationale: Foot and ankle injuries are prevalent and significantly affect quality of life. Limited ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM) and talar hypomobility are key contributors to these injuries.
Clinical Relevance: Findings could inform rehabilitation protocols and improve outcomes for athletes with specific biomechanical impairments.
Key Components
-
Aim: To explore correlations between talar mobility, squat performance, and foot and ankle ability in athletes with foot and ankle injuries.
-
Objectives:
Evaluate squat performance using Likert scoring.
Assess foot and ankle ability via FAAM (Foot and Ankle Ability Measure).
Examine associations between talar mobility, squat performance, and FAAM scores.
- Methodology:
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Participants: Adults aged 18–65 with recent foot and ankle injuries.
Tools:
Goniometer (non-weight-bearing DFROM),
Inclinometer (weight-bearing DFROM),
Talar Swing Test (for talar hypomobility),
Overhead Deep Squat Test (Likert scale evaluation),
FAAM questionnaire (functional assessment).
- Analysis:
Descriptive statistics for demographics.
Correlation analysis (Spearman’s rank) to assess the relationship between variables.
Findings Anticipated
Correlations between talar mobility, squat depth, and functional outcomes may guide targeted interventions.
Results could contribute to injury prevention strategies and rehabilitation techniques.
Ethical and Procedural Considerations
Study abides by ethical guidelines from Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, and the Declaration of Helsinki.
Informed consent and participant confidentiality are prioritized.
Clinical Implications
The study may help tailor rehabilitation programs for biomechanical deficits in athletes, optimizing functional recovery and reducing reinjury risks.
