Abstract

Genu Valgum deformity is a very common deformity that leads to a change in the proper alignment of the lower limb. The fact that in correctional movements and the implementation of open and closed movement chain training programs are two of the most common types of exercises, you can do, this study aimed to compare the effect of 8 weeks of comprehensive corrective exercises on open and closed kinetic chains on Genu Valgum deformity in girls.

Twenty girls with Genu Valgum deformity were randomly and equally divided into two groups of open and closed kinetic chain. Measurement of internal ankle distance (using calipers) was evaluated before and after the exercise program. The training program consisted of 45 minutes, three sessions per week for eight weeks. During this time, people did not participate in any regular exercise program. To interpret the data, Shapirovilk test and analysis of variance with repeated measures were used at a significance level of (P <0.05).

A significant decrease was observed in the post-test compared to the pre-test of the internal ankle distance in both training groups (p<0.001) And a significant mean difference was observed in the open kinetic chain training group (p=0.012).

Based on the results obtained; Comparison of the effect of 8 weeks of comprehensive corrective exercises on open and closed kinetic chains on Genu Valgum deformity has a significant effect. Exercises with open kinetic chain played a greater role in reducing the distance between the inner ankles of the foot than closed kinetic chain.
