Abstract
Background and Objective: The lower extremity deformities have been considered to change body alignment. Functional Movement Screen (FMS) which plays an important role in predicting sports injuries could be affected by these changes in the alignment and positioning of the body segments. The aim of this study was to compare functional movement screen scores in teenage male soccer players with and without genu valgum and genu varum deformities.
Materials and Methods: For this study, 60 teenage male soccer players with the mean age of 15.39 ± 0.57 years, height 167.14 ± 7.33 cm and weight 55.5 ± 8.59 kg and without any injuries, purposefully as a sample Statistically, they were selected and divided into three groups: genu valgum (20 patients), genu varum and without deformities (20 patients). The caliper was used to evaluate the deformities of the genu valgum and genu varum. FMS was evaluated by a set of tests including (Deep Squat, Hurdle Step, In-line Lunge, Shoulder Mobility, Active Straight Leg Raise, Trunk Stability Push-Up, and Rotary Stability). ANOVA test and Tukey post hoc test were used to analyze the data at the significance level of P <0.05.
Results: A significant difference was observed in the comparison of FMS scores between the groups with genu valgum (13.50 ± 1.98), genu varum (14.15 ± 2.51), and without deformity (15.60 ± 2.08). (P= 0/013). Also, there was a significant difference in the FMS score between individuals with and without genu valgum deformity (P = 0.011). There was no significant difference in the FMS score between subjects with and without genu varum and between subjects with genu varum and genu valgum (P <0.05).
Conclusion: The results of the present study indicated that soccer players with genu valgum deformity had a lower performance in the FMS compared to soccer players with genu varum deformity and without deformity.
