About

Postural stability has an important role for functional movements, injury prevention and the performance of many athletic skills. Therefore, it is very important to understand the factors that affect postural stability. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of lower extremity flexibility on postural stability in healthy individuals.

Full description

Postural stability provides the relationship between the body's center of gravity and the base of support using somatosensory information. Postural stability is a very important determinant for functional movements. It is known that postural stability plays an important role in the performance of many sports skills, protection from injuries and daily life activities. Therefore, it is very important to understand the factors affecting postural stability well.

Joint range of motion, muscle strength and flexibility are among the factors affecting postural stability. Hip, knee and ankle joint movements controlled along the kinetic chain are important in providing postural stability. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of lower extremity flexibility on dynamic postural stability in healthy individuals. Healthy volunteers between the ages of 18-25 will be included in the study and flexibility and postural stability assessments will be performed.
