Distal thigh compression garment improves knee control and safety perceptions during single leg triple-hop for distance

Frontal plane knee control is essential to athletic knee injury prevention. To evaluate knee valgus frontal plane projection angle (FPPA), knee safety, and sports movement capability confidence during single leg triple hop for distance (SLTHD) under knee sleeve, distal thigh compression garment (DTC...

Description
Summary:Frontal plane knee control is essential to athletic knee injury prevention. To evaluate knee valgus frontal plane projection angle (FPPA), knee safety, and sports movement capability confidence during single leg triple hop for distance (SLTHD) under knee sleeve, distal thigh compression garment (DTCG), and no device (control) conditions. A single-session, experimental study was performed using a within-subject design, and randomized device order. Two-dimensional FPPA measurements were collected during the final SLTHD landing of 18 healthy female college athletes for each condition. Sports movement capability and knee safety confidence were measured using 10-cm visual analog scale questions. One-way ANOVA assessed group differences, and Pearson correlations delineated FPPA, knee safety and sports movement capability confidence relationships (p
