    Foot Muscle Strength, Muscle Shortness, Balance, and Shoe Preferences in Different Foot Postures
    (Marmara Univ, inst Health Sciences, 2022) Unver, Banu; Taskiran, Hanifegul; Akgol, Ahmet Cuneyt
    Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the foot muscle strength, muscle shortness, tibialis posterior endurance, balance, and the shoe preference differences between the neutral and pronated foot posture. Methods: Forty-nine participants consisting of 23 women and 26 men, and age of between 18 and 45 years were participated in the study. Foot posture, medial longitudinal arch height, height, gastrocnemius and hamstring muscle shortness, foot and ankle muscle strength, tibialis posterior muscle endurance, static balance, and shoe preferences of the participants were evaluated. Subjects were recruited into two groups according to their foot posture evaluated with Foot Posture Index: as those with neutral and pronated foot posture. Results: Navicular drop, gastrocnemius, and hamstring muscle shortness were significantly higher in participants with pronated foot posture compared to those with neutral foot (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in terms of tibialis posterior, tibialis anterior, peroneal, and gastrocnemius muscle strength; tibialis posterior muscle endurance, balance, and shoe preferences between two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Flexibility of gastrocnemius and hamstring muscles were reduced, but foot muscle strength, tibialis posterior muscle endurance, and balance remained unaffected in young individuals with excessive foot pronation. Moreover, shoe preferences may not affect the foot posture in young people. Although all age-related biomechanical effects of foot pronation are not well known yet, muscle shortness seems to arise earlier than muscle weakness and reduced balance in pronated foot posture.

    Lower Limb Injury History in Elite Athletes:Relationship with Kinesiophobia andEffect on Physical Performance
    (2020) Özgül ÖZTÜRK; Tülay ÇEVİK SALDIRAN; Burcu YEŞİLKAYA; Mehmet ÖZKESKİN; Gamze AYDIN; Ahmet Cüneyt AKGÖL; Emine ATICI
    Objective: Considering the psychosocial factors of performance, the injury history will affect the physical performance parameters. Kinesiophobia is one of these factors. Although injuries are effective with motivation factors in athletes, the focus of research is on physical factors. Accordingly the main objective of the study was to investigate the presence of kinesiophobia in elite athletes with and without a history of lower limb injury. The secondary aim was to determine the relationship between physical performance and, kinesiophobia in elite athletes. Material and Methods: The presence of a history of lower extremity injury was questioned in athletes and the time was recorded. The fear of movement was evaluated using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-17). Performance evaluations of athletes were carried out under the titles of flexibility, balance, anaerobic and aerobic tests. Obtained data were analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. Results: Kinesiophobia level was different between athletes with and without a history of lower limb injuries (95%CI: 35.06 [33.41 to 36.71], p: 0.016). The athletes with lower limb injury history have higher kinesiophobia than athletes without lower limb injury history (p<0.05). There was a correlation between the kinesiophobia and, the history of lower limb injury of the athletes (r:0.350, p:0.015). No correlation was found in any subtitle of the physical performance tests and the history of lower limb injury (p>0.05). Conclusion: According to our study results the athletes with lower limb injury history have higher kinesiophobia than athletes without lower limb injury history. Kinesiophobia was related with lower limb injury history and not related with physical performance.
