Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the knee joint Q angle (patellofemoral angle) and the hip joint internal and external rotation angle in male wrestlers with and without pes planus deformity. Fifteen male wrestlers with at least second-degree pes planus deformity and 15 male wrestlers without pes planus deformity were included in the study. Pes planus status was evaluated by Feiss Line method. The Q angle was measured passively in the supine position and actively during the weight transfer of the foot with a goniometer. Internal and external rotation angles of the hip joint were measured actively and passively with a goniometer in the prone position. Mann Whitney-U test was used to compare the demographic characteristics, sports years, Q angles, hip internal and external rotation angles. Active and passive Q angles of wrestlers with and without pes planus deformity were similar. Similarly, there was no difference between active and passive internal and external rotation angles of the hip joints of both sides (p> 0.05). As a result of our study, it was determined that the Q angle and the hip internal and external rotation angles were similar in male wrestlers with and without pes planus deformity. It should be kept in mind that pes planus deformity may impair the biomechanical alignment of the lower extremities and is therefore one of the postural disorders that should be evaluated.

ERKEK GÜREŞÇİLERDE Q AÇISI İLE KALÇA EKLEMİ ROTASYON AÇILARININ PES PLANUS DEFORMİTESİNE GÖRE KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, pes planus deformitesi olan ve olmayan erkek güreşçilerde diz eklemi Q açısı (patellafemoral açı) ile kalça eklemi internal ve eksternal rotasyon açılarının karşılaştırılmasıdır. Çalışmaya her iki ayağında en az ikinci derece pes planus deformitesi olan 15 erkek güreşçi ve pes planus deformitesi olmayan 15 erkek güreşçi dahil edilmiştir. Pes planus varlığı Feiss Çizgisi yöntemi ile değerlendirildi. Q açısı sırtüstü pozisyonda pasif olarak ve ayakta ağırlık aktarımı sırasında aktif olarak gonyometre ile ölçüldü. Kalça eklemi internal ve eksternal rotasyon açıları yüzüstü pozisyonda aktif ve pasif olarak gonyometre ile ölçüldü. Sporcuların demografik özellikleri, spor yılları, Q açıları, kalça eklemi internal ve eksternal rotasyon açılarının karşılaştırılmasında Mann Whitney- U testi kullanıldı. Pes planus deformitesi olan ve olmayan güreşçilerin her iki taraf aktif ve pasif Q açılarının birbirine benzer olduğu belirlendi. Benzer şekilde sporcuların her iki taraf kalça eklemi aktif ve pasif internal ve eksternal rotasyon açıları arasında fark olmadığı belirlendi (p>0,05). Bu çalışma sonucunda, pes planus deformitesi olan ve olmayan erkek güreşçilerde Q açısı ile kalça eklemi internal ve eksternal rotasyon açılarının benzer olduğu belirlendi. Pes planus deformitesinin alt ekstremite biyomekaniksel dizilimini bozabilme ihtimalinden dolayı değerlendirilmesi gereken postüral bozukluklardan biri olduğu unutulmamalıdır.
