Relationship between Reduced of Medial Longitudinal Arch Height and Knee Valgus

چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Knee valgus during jump landing is considered to be one of the situations that may cause injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Decreased muscle torque during hip abduction is also reported to be a causative factor for knee valgus, as is pronation of the ankle joint (Joseph M et al. 2008). Further, knee valgus may occur when a reduction in the height of the medial longitudinal arch causes ankle pronation, leading to tibial inclination angle to the inside. In this study, motion analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between a reduction in the height of the medial longitudinal arch and knee valgus.
