Evaluation of knee joint Proprioception Changes in military forces following a period of a static and dynamic stretching of hamstrings, quadriceps and Gastrocnemius muscles

Background: One of the most important factors in the proper functioning of the military is the accurate assessment of feedback. Among these, the proper knee joint Proprioception is one of the most important factors in this regard. This study was performed to Evaluation of knee joint Proprioception Changes in military forces following a period of a static and dynamic stretching of hamstrings, quadriceps and Gastrocnemius muscles. Methods: The population of the study included the military men AJA air defense base of Khatam al-Anbia (PBUH), among which, 60 individuals who randomly divided into three groups of 20; Static (height: 173.27, Weight: 78.14), Dynamic (Height: 175.08, Weight: 76.92), and Control (Height: 176.12, Weight: 80.09). The subjects in both groups of static and dynamic stretching performed their group-specific stretching programs. The goniometric method of digital images was used to measure the knee joint proprioception using AutoCAD software. One-way variance analysis test and paired t-test were used for results. The significance level in the present paper was considered to be 95% (α≤0.05) (SPSS 22). Results: The results of the knee joint Proprioception variables showed a significant difference with the control group (Slight increase), between the static groups (decrease, p = 0.05) and the dynamics (decrease, p = 0.004). There was also a significant difference in the measured variables in the in-group comparison in the static group (decrease, p = 0323) and dynamics (decrease, p = 0.002). (Reducing the absolute error values of the target angle reconstruction and, consequently, improving the knee joint propensity sensitivity). Conclusion: Static and dynamic stretching exercises in the lower extremity can possibly affect muscle spikes, increase muscle temperature, trigger the activation phenomenon, repeat the movement in a specific pattern, and ultimately the phenomenon of posttraptional sensory drainage, increase the sensitivity of muscle receptors and ultimately improve the sense of joint condition Knee. Since any Proprioception sense of depression can lead to mechanical instability and ultimately cause the joint to be prone to mild blows and ultimately damage, stretching exercises may also change the muscle spindle properties and increase the knee Proprioception. Also, dynamic stretching improves and improves the ability to perform better in the knee joint Proprioception variable relative to static stretching.
