Description
Summary:OBJECTIVE The difference in the length of the lower members and the foot varus and valgus have shown that they are related to a greater incident in lower extremities injuries, as well as the articular laxity, the flexibility and biomechanics or structural parameters. Prediction of injuries by means of logistic decline. The models of decline include a series of technical math that try to measure the relation among a variable turned out and an or some variables. Shambaugh (1991) relates structural measures with the incident of injuries in the lower extremities in basketball players by means of an equation of logistic decline of three variables that predicted the probability of wound in a 91%. Salazar (2000) contributed a new mathematical injuries predicter formula by means of an analysis of logistic decline. SALAZAR' INJURIES INDEX 1/1 + e0.1621 - 0.06344 ; Shambaugh Index Medium* Our purpose is to relate them among itself of mathematical form by means of equations of logistic decline.
