Abstract:

The weakness in postural control leads athletes to the risk of disability. The evaluation of the joint position feeling, which is a component of the balance skills of athletes, especially in the post-traumatic rehabilitation process, provides information about the stability of the joint. This study assessed the feeling of the leg position of amateur athletes (5 women, 29 men) with a history of disability (n=6) and non (n=28) with disability. In the data analysis, the athletes' foot leg position sensation average error degrees ranges between 2.5 and 7.6 degrees. There has been no significant difference between those who have a history of sexuality and those who do not have a history of sexuality and between women and men (p>0.05). Athletes' foot position sensation assessment is established in the form of a consecutive position sensation assessment considered as a practical assessment method along with the normal assessment method (test angle and error degree detection) and the athlete who has not been successful in this assessment.

Abstract:

Weakness in postural control makes athletes confront injury. Especially after injury joint position sense assestment a compenent of balance skill gives information about joint stabilization in rehabilitation progress. In this study ankle joint position sense of amateur athletes (5 female, 29 male) with injury history (n=6) and without injury history (n=28) were assessed. As a result of statistical analysis the mean error degrees of ankle position sense range between 2.5 degrees and 7.6 degrees and there is no significant difference of the mean error degree between the ones with injury history or without, female and male participants (p>0.05). Near normal ankle position sense assessment (test degree and determination of error degree) sequential joint position sense assessment thought as practical assessment method, is designed and in this assessment no athletes is determined as successful.
