Balance, Foot, Lower Extremity
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is designed to investigate the relationship between foot biomechanics, balance, lower extremity muscle mechanical properties, and vertical jump in young adults. The aim is to highlight the correlations between foot biomechanics and the other parameters, as well as potential outcomes (if any).
Detailed description
This study is designed to investigate the relationship between foot biomechanics, balance, lower extremity muscle mechanical properties, and vertical jump in young adults. The independent variables of the study include participants' age, height, weight, calcaneotibial angle, navicular drop test, foot lengths, smoking/alcohol habits, socioeconomic status, and exercise habits. The dependent variables are the results from the Korebalance balance test, Flamingo balance test, vertical jump test, and Myoton-Pro assessment. The study aims to highlight the correlations between foot biomechanics and the other parameters, as well as potential outcomes.
