Comparison of the score of Functional Lower Extremity Evaluation in physically active adolescent with and without genuvarum

The aim of this study was to compare the Functional Lower Extremity Evaluation scores in physically active adolescent with and without the genuvarum.
Thirty two physically active adolescent selected and assigned in to two groups of with ( n = 17) and without ( n = 15 ) genuvarum. To determine genuvarum, distance between two medial condyle of the femur in the most prominent area was measured using a caliper. Lower extremity function using Functional Lower Extremity Evaluation that measures 3 components of lower extremity function: control, power, and endurance was assessed. Independent t-test was used to statistical analysis ( α≤0.05 )
There are significant differences in Functional Lower Extremity Evaluation scores between individuals with and without genuvarum.
results indicated that genuvarum reduced the Functional Lower Extremity Evaluation scores and can reduce the function and so could increase the likelihood of injury.
