About this study
Official title: Effect of Lower Extremity Flexibility on Postural Stability
Postural stability has an important role for functional movements, injury prevention and the performance of many athletic skills. Therefore, it is very important to understand the factors that affect postural stability. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of lower extremity flexibility on postural stability in healthy individuals.
Read the detailed description
Postural stability provides the relationship between the body's center of gravity and the base of support using somatosensory information. Postural stability is a very important determinant for functional movements. It is known that postural stability plays an important role in the performance of many sports skills, protection from injuries and daily life activities. Therefore, it is very important to understand the factors affecting postural stability well.
Joint range of motion, muscle strength and flexibility are among the factors affecting postural stability. Hip, knee and ankle joint movements controlled along the kinetic chain are important in providing postural stability. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of lower extremity flexibility on dynamic postural stability in healthy individuals. Healthy volunteers between the ages of 18-25 will be included in the study and flexibility and postural stability assessments will be performed.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Passive straight leg raise test
Test is performed in the supine position. Measurement of hip flexion angle is performed with a universal goniometer at the end point of the movement.
Measured: Baseline
Passive ankle dorsiflexion range of motion
During the measurement, individuals are in a supine position. The ankle joint range of motion measurement is performed with a universal goniometer.
Measured: Baseline
Postural stability
Biodex Balance System (Biodex Medical Systems, Inc. USA) will be used in the dynamic single leg stance test and sensory integration of balance clinical test evaluations. Lower scores indicate better stability and higher scores mean poor balance.
Measured: Baseline
