ABSTRACT
Athletes suffer most commonly from musculoskeletal injuries and it has increased dramatically over the last decade. Accompanying the increase in participation in sports is the increase incidence of injury in lower limb like hip, knee and ankle in both male and female athletes. The purpose of this study was to examine the static posture of lower limb parameters with overuse injury. This study is conducted with the two groups of 40 subjects i.e. Group A is Injured 20 Athletes and Group B is Non-Injured 20 Athletes. Seven variables were measured: standing pelvic position, hip position, standing sagittal knee position, standing frontal knee position, hamstring length, prone subtalar joint position, and navicular drop test.This study has been found strong relationship static posture of lower limb with pelvic position, femoral anteversion and navicular drop test. And this study also shows the low relationship with Hamstring length, standing knee extension angle and subtalar joint and normal relation with standing sagittal knee extension in lower limb with static posture in injured recreational athletes.This study concluded that the injury is affecting the biomechanics and even the relative static posture of the lower limb parameters with injured and Non-injured Athlete. We recommended the athletes to provided with targeted education regarding self-care strategies and treatment option for managing the biomechanics of the lower limb and more research be undertaken is to physical demands on the lower limb with specific games and also with specific injuries..
