Brief summary

assess the difference in adductor peak strength evaluated with different instruments. Hand held dynamometer vs force frame

Detailed description

This study aims to compare the difference in adductor strength output performed by athletes suffering a groin injury between two different assessment methods. Previous studies have observed that add strength differs depending on the evaluation method. Isometric strength can be measured with hand held dynamometer or with force plates (forceframe). Wether one method is better in order to differenciate adductor strength between healthy and injured limb is not known to date.

Interventions

OTHERAdductor strength assessment

Adductor strength will be evaluated with HHD (handheld dynamometer) and forceplates (Forceframe), both injured leg and healthy will be assess in order to compare both limbs

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
handheld dynamometer strength	november 2022 to june 2023	peak torque measured with the handheld dynamometer the athlete will lay supine with hips flexed at 0º and the examiner will put the forearm between the ankles, the participant has to exert the maximum possible strength with the adductor muscles by squeezing with both legs against the forearm
forceframe strength	november 2022 to june 2023	peak torque measured with the forceframe the athlete will lay supine with hips flexed at 0º and the ankles placed by the force plates, the participant has to exert the maximum possible strength with the adductor muscles by squeezing with both legs against the plates
