Is There a Relationship Between the Risk of Injury and Posture in Wrestlers?

This study was planned to investigate the relationship between the risk of injury and posture in wrestlers. The study will be included male wrestlers. The spine posture and flexibility of the athletes will be measured during standing position with the Idiag M360® brand Spinal Mouse (SM), while the overall body posture will be measured from the anterior and lateral sides using the New York Posture Analysis Method (NYPAM). Injury risks of the athletes will be evaluated by Functional Movement Screen (FMS) which was consisting of seven basic movement patterns.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Posture Assessment; Posture will be assessed with New York Posture Rating Chart (NYPR) originally published in 1958
Sagittal spinal alignment and mobility; Sagittal spinal alignment and mobility will be measured using the Spinal Mouse (IdiagAG Mülistrasse 18 CH-8320 Fehraltorf, Switzerland), a computer-aided, non-invasive device.
Injury risk assessment; Injury risk will be evaluated with Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test battery. A previous systematic review has demonstrated acceptable reliability for the FMS
