Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the calcaneal stance position angle asymmetry between right and left on posture stability and functional movement screen(FMS) in university soccer players. The subject of this study included 18males university students; Calcaneal Angle Asymmetry Group(n=9) and control group(n=9) were measured with Subtalar joint calcaneal stance position angle, star excursion balance test(SEBT) and functional movement screen(FMS). To see the group difference, both the mean score and standard deviation were calculated by using IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0 statistical program. Also, independent t-test was implemented to verify the group difference. The results are as follows; calcaneal stance position angle was significantly difference measured pronation of Left(p<.001) in CAA. Static posture stability was significantly difference between Con and CAA on left(p<.05). FMS was significantly different between Con and CAA on Deep Squat(p<.01), In-line lunge(p<.01), Rotary stability(p<.01) and total score(p<.01). Consequently, this study suggests that various approaches to training should be done, and an approach for stabilization strategy and prevention of exercise injury for asymmetric ankles will be needed.
