About this study

Official title: Balance Parameters and Weight Distributions at Different Kneeling Positions

This study aims to examine balance parameters and weight distributions at different kneeling positions.

Read the detailed description

A cross-sectional study design was used to describe the balance parameters and weight-bearing distributions on knee in different kneeling positions with different ankle conditions. The participants signed informed consent forms before the study was performed on a voluntary basis. Inclusion criteria were defined as being between 18-30 years old and not having knee pain with kneeling. Exclusion criteria were previous history of lower limb pain/pathology, trauma, and/or surgery, any neurological, rheumatological or oncological disorders that would affect balance, have performed high intensity physical activities last 72 hours before test day, and BMI > 25. Balance parameters and weight distribution to each knee were evaluated three times at upright kneeling (UK) and full kneeling (FK) positions, in different ankle conditions (dorsiflexion and plantarflexion) with static balance device. Test-retest ICC values were calculated for all procedures.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To investigate balance parameters (postural sway (mm) ) in different kneeling positions.

    Balance parameters and weight distribution to each knee were evaluated three times at upright kneeling (UK) and full kneeling (FK) positions, in different ankle conditions (dorsiflexion and plantarflexion) with static balance device. HurSmart balance system (HUR smart balance, HUR, Helsinki, Finland) was used for assessed the static balance. Postural sways to antero-posterior (A-P) and medio-lateral (M-L) directions were calculated.

    Measured: one year

  2. weight distributions (kg) in different kneeling positions.

    weight distribution to each knee were evaluated three times at upright kneeling (UK) and full kneeling (FK) positions, in different ankle conditions (dorsiflexion and plantarflexion) with static balance device. HurSmart balance system (HUR smart balance, HUR, Helsinki, Finland) was used for assessed the weight distribution.

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Balanced and Weight, Body, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To investigate balance parameters (postural sway (mm) ) in different kneeling positions. (time frame: one year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
