Abstract:

 This study aimed to examine the relationship between changes in the medial longitudinal arch, femoral anteversion angle, balance, and hypermobility in healthy young individuals. The study was conducted on 80 students 56 female, 24 male working at Necmettin Erbakan University, Nezahat Keleşoğlu Faculty of Health Sciences. Demographic data of all individuals were obtained. Medial longitudinal arch distribution was evaluated by Foot Posture Index API, a dynamic balance was evaluated by the Y balance test, hypermobility was evaluated by Beighton Hypermobility scoring, and femoral anteversion angle FAA was evaluated by Craigs test. The mean age of all individuals was 20.782.37 years. The FAA was 19.283.04 on the right, while it was 19.063.24 on the left. The right API was 1.921.77 and the left API was 1.911.56. The hypermobility score in all humans was 1.561.76 cm. No correlation was found in terms of gender, dominant foot and hypermobility p0.05. There was no correlation between foot posture index and femoral anteversion angle p0.05. While positive rates were found between right and left API and right and left FAA, negative aspects were aimed between API right and dynamic posteromedial balance. The foot posture index was not found at points with femoral anteversion angle and hypermobility. However, it will take the dynamic balance of the foot posture towards the posteromedial direction. So, it is recommended to evaluate the dynamic balance in foot evaluations and if necessary dynamic balance exercises for foot posture exercises in students.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı sağlıklı genç bireylerde medial longitudinal arktaki değişikliklerin femoral anteversiyon açısı, denge ve hipermobilite arasındaki ilişkisi incelemektir. Çalışma Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi, Nezahat Keleşoğlu Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesinde öğrenim gören 80 öğrencide 56 kadın, 24 erkek yapılmıştır. Bireylerin demografik verileri alınmıştır. Medial longutudinal ark yüksekliğinin değerlendirmesi Ayak Postür İndeksi APİ, dinamik denge Y denge testi, hipermobilite Beighton Hipermobilite skorlaması, fermoral anteversiyon açısı FAA Craigs testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Tüm bireylerin yaş ortalaması 20.782.37 yıl, FAA sağ 19.283.04 iken FAA sol 19.063.24dir. APİ sağ 1.921.77, APİ sol 1.911.56 idi. Tüm katılımcılarda hipermobilite skoru 1,561,76 cmdir. Yapılan istatistik çalışmasında cinsiyet, dominant ayak ve hipermobilite açısından bir ilişki bulunamamıştır 0.05. Ayak postür indeksi ile femoral anteversiyon açısı arasında anlamlı ilişki yoktur p0.05. Sağ ile sol APİ ve sağ ile sol FAA arasında pozitif korelasyon bulunurken, APİ sağ ile dinamik posteromedial denge arasında negatif yönde korelasyon belirlenmiştir. Ayak postür indeksi femoral anteversiyon açısı ve hipermobilite ile ilişkili bulunmamıştır. Ancak ayak postürünün dinamik dengeyi posteromedial yönde etkilediği görülmüştür. Buna göre ayak değerlendirmelerinde dinamik dengeninde değerlendirilmesi ve gerekirse ayak postürüne yönelik egzersizlerinin dinamik denge egzersizleri ile desteklenmesi önerilir.
