Comparison of dynamic balance properties of hypermobility in boys
Abstract
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the ratio of male children to hypermobility and to compare the difference between their dynamic balances.
Method:156 sedentary boys (mean age:11.7±0.672 years) living in the province of Şanlıurfa participated in the study with ‘the informed consent form’ prepared according to the Helsinki criteria and voluntarily taken ‘parents consent forms’. The hypermobility measurements were evaluated according to the Beighton criteria, and the cut-off point was taken as 4 and the participants who scored 4 and above were divided into two groups: hypermobile and non-hypermobile. The dynamic balance was measured using Y Balance Test. Mann Whitney U Test was used to evaluate the data due to non-parametric distribution.
Result: As a result of data analysis using Beighton scoring; twenty-one of the 156 participants participated in the study were found to be hypermobile taking 4 points or more points (%13,5) and 135 (%86.5) of them to be non-hypermobile with 0-3 points. According to the results of Y balance test measured the dynamic balance of the groups, it is seen that there is no significant difference between the total of three reach points, the right leg (U=1179, p>0.05) and left leg (U=1371, p>0.05) leg combined scores (p>0.05).
Conclusion: This result shows that there is no significant difference between the dynamic balance characteristics of hypermobile and non-hypermobile boys and also, hypermobility has no effect on dynamic balance.
