Abstract :
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of corrective exercises on knee position and static and dynamic balance of student athletes with braced knees. The present study is a quasi-experimental study with pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population consisted of male high school students in Mashhad in the academic year 1399-1400. Among them, 30 people with first or second degree braces (up to 2.5 cm first degree and 2.5 to 5 cm second degree) were selected and randomly divided into two groups of 15 experimental and control Were. Knee distance, static balance and dynamic balance were measured by caliper, stork and Y balance tests, respectively. The subjects in the experimental group practiced for 12 weeks, 3 sessions per week and 60 minutes in each session. For statistical analysis of the data, combined analysis of variance was used with the help of SPSS22 statistical software. The results showed that after the training period, there was a significant decrease in the distance between the knees and a significant increase in static and dynamic balance. Anterior direction, internal posterior and external posterior were seen. According to the results, it can be acknowledged that the corrective exercises performed in the form of training protocol presented in the present study, improve the braced knee, and the balance of students with braced knee.
