Effect of 16-week corrective training program on three dimensional joint moments of the dominant and non-dominant lower limbs during gait in children with genu varus deformity

Proper treatment of lower limbs alignment in children may prevent the progression of pathologies. However, this is not evaluated from a scientific view-point. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 16-week Corrective Exercise Continuum (CEC) programming strategy on three dimensio...

Description
Summary:Proper treatment of lower limbs alignment in children may prevent the progression of pathologies. However, this is not evaluated from a scientific view-point. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 16-week Corrective Exercise Continuum (CEC) programming strategy on three dimensional joint moments of dominant and non-dominant lower limbs during walking. Randomized control trials. Sports biomechanics laboratory. Twenty eight male children with genu varus and with permission of their parents were volunteered to participate in this study. They were randomly divided in two equal-sized groups (experimental and control). Corrective Exercise Continuum (CEC) programming strategy. Data acquisition was carried out using six infrared motion analysis cameras (Vicon motion Systems, Oxford, UK) and two force platforms (Kistler AG, Winterthur, Switzerland). The joint moments of the ankle, knee, and hip of the both lower extremities were calculated using inverse dynamics approach. The results indicated that CEC decreased the peak knee internal rotation moment (P
