Anthropometric and Range of Motion Evaluation of the Lower Limbs’ Joints as Factors for Symmetry Assessment at High Level Handball Players Prior to Their Return to Play After An Injury in Lower Limbs.

Abstract: Asymmetry between the two limbs, either in strength or flexibility, increases the risk of re-injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the symmetry through anthropometric assesment and to examine the range of motion of lower limbs' joints in handball players upon their return to play after injury. The sample consisted of 15 high level handball players, who had injured their lower limbs and were ready to return to the same competitive activity. These players underwent anthropometric assessment as well as fi… Show more

“…In general, no inter-limb ankle ROM differences have been reported in populations of various sports background [8,[26][27][28][29][30][31]. This can be attributed to the fact that scientific evidence and recommendations aid in the design of training programs aiming to maintain symmetry in joint mobility [55][56][57] since it is widely acknowledged that decreased ROM is associated with sports injuries [58].…”
