Detailed Description

A cross-sectional study design was used to describe the balance parameters and weight-bearing distributions on knee in different kneeling positions with different ankle conditions. The participants signed informed consent forms before the study was performed on a voluntary basis. Inclusion criteria were defined as being between 18-30 years old and not having knee pain with kneeling. Exclusion criteria were previous history of lower limb pain/pathology, trauma, and/or surgery, any neurological, rheumatological or oncological disorders that would affect balance, have performed high intensity physical activities last 72 hours before test day, and BMI > 25. Balance parameters and weight distribution to each knee were evaluated three times at upright kneeling (UK) and full kneeling (FK) positions, in different ankle conditions (dorsiflexion and plantarflexion) with static balance device. Test-retest ICC values were calculated for all procedures.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To investigate balance parameters (postural sway (mm) ) in different kneeling positions.
Time Frame: one year
Balance parameters and weight distribution to each knee were evaluated three times at upright kneeling (UK) and full kneeling (FK) positions, in different ankle conditions (dorsiflexion and plantarflexion) with static balance device. HurSmart balance system (HUR smart balance, HUR, Helsinki, Finland) was used for assessed the static balance. Postural sways to antero-posterior (A-P) and medio-lateral (M-L) directions were calculated.
one year
weight distributions (kg) in different kneeling positions.
Time Frame: one year
weight distribution to each knee were evaluated three times at upright kneeling (UK) and full kneeling (FK) positions, in different ankle conditions (dorsiflexion and plantarflexion) with static balance device. HurSmart balance system (HUR smart balance, HUR, Helsinki, Finland) was used for assessed the weight distribution.
