The Effect of Hallux Valgus Angle on Dynamic Knee Movement Pattern in Judo and Weightlifting Athletes

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hallux valgus deformity on dynamic knee movement pattern and lower extremity injuries in athletes. This was a cross-sectional observational study. The study was included 92 athletes (male: 62, female: 30). Athletes without acute injuries that could affect performance tests were included. Demographic data were collected, and the hallux valgus angle was measured using a goniometer. A standard warm-up protocol was then applied. A drop jump test from a 30 cm platform was conducted, and images captured during the test were analyzed in 2D using Kistler+Noraxon Measurement Device cameras to determine the dynamic knee movement pattern based on the knee-foot ratio. The dynamic knee movement pattern was determined that values greater than 1 were determined dynamic knee varus and values less than 1 were considered dynamic knee valgus. Dynamic knee movement pattern did not show a significant relationship with hallux valgus angle (p>0.05). However, a greater hallux valgus angle was observed in female athletes with a history of injury (p
