Abstract
Background andAim: In recent years the use of elastic exercises in the rehabilitation due to low cost, low spacerequirements and secure, is considered. The aim of this study was to the effect of 12 weeks of theraband training on the knee deformity, Q angle and postural control in students with genu valgum. Materials and Methods: The 30 female first high school students with genu varum purposefully selected and randomly divided into two experimental (age 14.01±1.6 years, height 1.57±0.12 m and weight 50.3±9.7 kg) and control (age 14.06±1.6 years, height 1.56±0.18 m and weight 50.03±11.3 kg) groups (n=15). The distance between the knees, the Q angle, static balance and dynamic balance of subjects respectively with caliper, goniometer, stork balance test and Y balance test was measured. The Experimental group completed 12 weeks, 3 sessions/ week, 60-minute/session of theraband training program. Data were statistically analyzed by the use of RMANOVA, using SPSS 22 software (p<0.05). Result: After the training period a significant decrease in distances between the knee (p= 0.001) and a significant increase in the Q angle (p=0.04), static balance (p=0.001) and dynamic balance in the anterior (p=0.001), posterior medial (p=0.002) and posterior lateral (p=0.003) was seen. Conclusion: According to these results can be acknowledged that elastic exercises with the theraband training protocol presented in this study on the improvement of knee genu varum, Q angle and balance of students with genu varumis effective.
