Dynamic Q Angle and Core Endurance in Adolescent Athletes With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Dynamic Q Angle And Core Endurance In Adolescent Athletes With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: A Sex-Based Comparative Retrospective Study

Sponsor

Eastern Mediterranean University

Enrollment

85 participants

Start Date

Dec 1, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Athletic Performance Postural Balance

Summary

This cross-sectional observational study aims to compare trunk mobility, lower extremity flexibility, and functional balance performance across different sports branches in adolescent elite male athletes. Trunk mobility will be assessed using a digital inclinometer in flexion, extension, and rotational movements; hamstring flexibility will be evaluated using the Straight Leg Raise test; and functional balance will be measured using the normalized Y-Balance Test. The study seeks to identify sport-specific biomechanical characteristics and potential indicators related to injury risk and performance adaptations in adolescent competitive athletes.
