Investigation of the Relationship of Q Angle and Stork Balance Stand Test With Somatotype in Healthy Young Individuals
Abstract
Aim: The Q angle, which is an important marker for assessing lower extremity status in all skeletal evaluations, is also a parameter influencing balance. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of patellafemoral angle (Q angle) and stork balance stand test (SBST) with somatotype in healthy young subjects.
Material and Methods: Q-angle, SBST and somatotype measurements of 191 healthy young individuals (105 male, 86 female) were made within the context of the study. Somatotype measurement was made with Heath-Carter formula. Somatotype calculations were made with “Somatotype for Windows 1.2.6 Trial Version” program.
Results: In the 191 individuals who participated in the study, 7 different somatotypes were found as endomorphic mesomorph (71), mesomorph-endomorph (27), balanced ectomorph (15), central (17), balanced mesomorph (24), mesomorphic endomorph (19), mesomorphic ectomorph (18). According to the Kruskal Wallis H Test conducted, it was found that there were no statistically significant differences in Q angle and SBST of each somatotype found in males and females (p>0.05).
Conclusion: It was found that there were no statistically significant associations between SBST and Q angle scores and somatotypes assessed in our study. It is thought that since there are limited numbers of studies in literature conducted by using detailed somatotype character analysis, our study will contribute to making up the deficiency in this field.
