Proprioceptive Disorders
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aimed to evaluate the association between the isokinetic knee strength and/or proprioception performance with the functional performance on the functional Hop-tests and Y-balance test. This study included 20 healthy individuals who performed an isokinetic assessment of knee proprioception (joint position sense, JPS and threshold to detection of passive motion, TDPM) and flexors/extensors strength. At the same time, they performed a functional testing consisting of three Hop-tests (single, triple and cross-over) and the Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test (YBT-LQ). We tested the correlation between the isokinetic and functional performances, and limb symmetry indexes.
Interventions

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* individuals under 45 years of age who performed at least 4 hours of physical activity per week.
Exclusion criteria
* individuals unable to perform isokinetic muscle tests * individuals with a current or recent lower limb injury with time loss from sport participation within the previous month * individuals with previous severe knee injury (eg. Severe ligament tear, knee fracture) * individuals taking medications with potential balance/coordination side effects.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Knee proprioception, TDPM | one evaluation at a single point in time through study completion, an average of 4 months | Measurement of knee proprioception by the Threshold to Detection of Passive Motion (TDPM in degrees) on isokinetic dynamometer. |
| Strength | one evaluation at a single point in time through study completion, an average of 4 months | Measurement of knee extensors and flexors peak strength (in newton.meter, Nm) on isokinetic dynamometer. |
| Knee proprioception, JPS1 | one evaluation at a single point in time through study completion, an average of 4 months | Measurement of knee proprioception by the passive repositioning technique (JPS, in degrees) on isokinetic dynamometer. |
| Knee proprioception, JPS2 | one evaluation at a single point in time through study completion, an average of 4 months | Measurement of knee proprioception by the active repositioning technique (JPS, in degrees) on isokinetic dynamometer. |
| Functional testing, Hop tests | one evaluation at a single point in time through study completion, an average of 4 months | Hop test. Single hop: Patients are instructed to stand on one leg and perform 1 jump as far as possible, landing on the same leg. The total distance is recorded (in cm) .Triple hop: Patients are instructed to stand on one leg and perform 3 hops as far as possible, landing on the same leg. The total distance for 3 consecutive hops is recorded (in cm). Cross-over hop test : The patient hops forward 3 times while alternately crossing over a marking The patient is instructed to position themselves such that the first of the 3 hops was lateral with respect to the direction of crossover The total distance hopped forward is recorded (in cm) |
