“…In contrast, an alternative investigation by Odding, et al [47] described varus deformities as more pronounced in males, while valgus deformities exhibited greater prevalence in females. A study conducted on the prevalence of dynamic knee valgus among children indicates 26.3% and 26.9% in the right and left lower limbs, with females exhibiting more knee valgus in the left limb [48]. Concerning foot alterations, prior research showcased the presence of pes planus in a staggering 90.8% of elementary school students [49].…”

Knee and foot deformities refer to structural abnormalities in the knee and foot bones, joints, ligaments, or muscles. Various factors, including genetics, injury, disease, or excessive use, can cause these deformities. These musculoskeletal conditions can significantly impact individuals’ quality of life. This study examined foot and knee deformities in 231 young healthy adults (165 men, 66 women) aged 22.6 ± 4.9 years and their association with physical activity and body composition. The postural assessment was performed by two Physiotherapists, with the subject standing in three views: side, anterior, and posterior. Physical activity (Baecke’s Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire) and body composition (InBody 770) were assessed. Results showed that the most common foot deformity was pes planus, while the genu recurvatum was the most common knee deformity among the individuals. Physical activity level was negatively associated with knee and foot deformities. Conversely, body composition differed with the presence of genu recurvatum. These findings present a starting point to understand the occurrence of knee and foot postural alterations according to the individuals’ body composition and physical activity profiles, which could support the deployment of tailored interventions among healthy adults. In addition, early detection of postural changes is crucial in mitigating their negative long-term impact on physical well-being.

“…Demographic characteristics, gender, and age were described through tabulations, considering the complex sampling design. The prevalence of each variable was calculated based on the complex sampling design, including weights and clustering effects [ 19 ]. To analyze the association between PFPS and each independent variable (gender, physical activity, BMI, sexual maturation, posterior chain flexibility, and functional impairment), Prevalence Ratios (PR) and their respective 95% confidence intervals for the outcome were estimated using Multiple Poisson Regression with robust variance.…”

Objectives To assess the prevalence and associated factors of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) in children and adolescents. Method A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted with children and adolescents aged 10 to 18 years, who presented a history of peripatellar and/or retropatellar pain, attending elementary or high school in urban public schools in Natal, Brazil. The sample size was calculated based on a minimum outcome prevalence of 22%. Results A prevalence of 24.7% of PFPS was found. There was a positive association of PFPS with active students (p < 0.01; PR: 2.5; CI: 1.4–4.5), low functional capacity (p < 0.01; PR: 8.0; CI: 5.0–12.8), and those classified as pubertal (p < 0.03; PR: 1.8; CI: 1.0–3.2). Conclusion There was a considerable prevalence of PFPS in children and adolescents, as well as an association between the level of sexual maturation and adjustable determinants, such as the level of physical activity and low functional capacity in this group.

“…This pattern includes external rotation of the tibia, inward rotation of the femur, knee abduction, and inward movement of the hip joint (2). DKV is more prevalent in females compared to males, and the likelihood of developing it increases as individuals progress through childhood (3). The dynamic form of knee valgus is considered a risk factor for various lower extremity injuries, including anterior knee pain, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sprain, osteo-arthrosis, and runner's knee (4)(5)(6).…”

Background. Dynamic knee valgus (DKV) refers to an improper movement strategy of the lower limbs involving multiple planes.Objective. The present study aimed to examine the impact of dual task conditions on joint repositioning sense in female athletes with DKV. Methods. This controlled laboratory investigation involved 31 volunteered female athletes who met specific criteria for inclusion and exclusion (17 with DKV, and 14 without DKV). The assessment of DKV was carried out through the Single-Leg Stance (SLS) test. Knee repositioning sense and dynamic balance were measured by using photogrammetric method and y-balance test, respectively. The tests were done on two conditions with and without dual task. Paired samples t-test was used to analyze data t confidence level of 95% (p < 0.05). Results. The knee JPS in the frontal (p = 0.008) planes improved while the Y-balance scores in anterior (p = 0.001), Posteromedial (p = 0.003), and composite score (p = 0.003) decreased significantly while perform dual task in female athletes with DKV. Conclusions. Our results showed that dual task training could improve joint position sense in the frontal plane, but it does not have a clear effect on the joint position sense in the sagittal plane. Moreover, dual task may impair dynamic stability in individuals with DKV.
