Abstract
Correlation Between Hip Abductor Strength and Navicular Drop
Highlights
Strength of the hip and body biomechanics are an important part of the overall health of an individual
Hip abductor strength was measured three times on each leg with thirty second rest times in between tests using a handheld dynamometer (Hoggan Scientific LLC, microFET) following procedures outlined in Muscles Testing and Function with Posture and Pain [6]
Our current findings suggest that there is no significant correlation between hip abductor strength and foot pronation
Summary
Strength of the hip and body biomechanics are an important part of the overall health of an individual. When evaluating the lower extremity, the kinetic chain that plays a vital role in maintaining proper body mechanics for gait and overall posture. This chain includes the hip, knee, and ankle joints. Previous research has endeavored to study the relationships between these joints and define the underlying factors that can cause these alterations. Some of these studies investigated the relationship between the strength of the hip musculature and its relationship with the positioning of the knee and ankle
