Dynamic Knee Valgus
Conditions
Interventions
Participants will perform a home-based Lateral Band Walk exercise using a mini-band for 3 weeks. Each session will last approximately 10 minutes, with a target of at least 15 sessions during the inter

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Healthy adult females who demonstrate relatively greater dynamic knee valgus during a screening single-leg squat assessment.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Individuals with a history of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction Those who do not meet the criteria in the screening assessment Those who cannot safely perform a single-leg squat or single-leg drop landing due to pain, discomfort, or musculoskeletal disorders Those who are judged to have difficulty maintaining participation throughout the study period
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Knee valgus angle during single-leg drop landing, measured at baseline and immediately after the 3-week intervention using 3D motion analysis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Biomechanical variables of the knee and hip during single-leg drop landing and single-leg squat Vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) normalized by body weight, and loading rate Knee varus/valgus moment Subjective evaluations of knee stability, confidence in movement, and body control Indicators of ACL injury prevention awareness, adherence, and fidelity to the intervention (session counts, form evaluation, and interview records) Knee valgus angle during single-leg drop landing at 2-week follow-up | — |
