Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The internal rotation of the hip (IR), internal rotation associated with the external rotation (IR + RE), and the Alpha and Wiberg angles, a statistically significant difference was observed in all of them when considering p as a 95% significance level. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| An analysis was performed comparing the percentage of specific categories between the participants, two groups: IR below 30 °, IR + RE above 75º, alpha angle above 50º and Wiberg angle below 40º. The results showed that the reduction in IR below 30 ° is associated with ACL injury (p <0.0005) | — |
