Abstract
Introduction: There is a growing prevalence of biomechanical alterations in the lower limbs in school-age children. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a therapeutic exercise program (TEP) in child athletes with lower limb overpronation during gait. Method: Relevant databases (PubMed and SCOPUS) were used. A total of 123 young athletes (aged 9芒�?�?12 years) were evaluated, of which 20 had lower limb overpronation (n=40 lowers extremities). All subjects underwent biomechanical analysis including all relevant angles, as follows: the Helbing angle, the tibiofemoral angle, and the Fick angle in both limbs. The sample was randomly allocated to: a control group (CG=10 subjets) whose no had treatment for three months; and an experimental group (EG10 subjects) whose the children participated in a TEP intervention program for three further months. Results: At the beginning, a CG had tibiofemoral angle169.34�?卤0.87�?潞, helbing angle 10.08�?卤4.02�?潞 and fick angle 6.93�?卤3.00�?潞; and EG had tibiofemoral angle168.80�?卤1.98�?潞, helbing angle 10.65�?卤4.17�?潞 and fick angle 5.35�?卤3.00�?潞. After the intervention, a CG had tibiofemoral angle 168.92�?卤1.73�?潞, helbing angle 9.25�?卤3.16�?潞 and fick angle 8.95�?卤3.49�?潞; and EG had tibiofemoral angle 172.75�?卤2.45�?潞, helbing angle 5.05�?卤1.36�?潞 and fick angle 11.58�?卤1.50�?潞. In EC, all biomechanical parameters significantly improved (p<0.001 for three angles), and all subjects in the case group adopted a nearly normal gait pattern. Conclusions: Our three-month TEP-based intervention was efficient in making young athletes with a pathological gait pattern adopt a normal gait pattern.Biography
