Brief Summary: Postural stability has an important role for functional movements injury prevention and the performance of many athletic skills Therefore it is very important to understand the factors that affect postural stability The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of lower extremity flexibility on postural stability in healthy individuals
Detailed Description: Postural stability provides the relationship between the bodys center of gravity and the base of support using somatosensory information Postural stability is a very important determinant for functional movements It is known that postural stability plays an important role in the performance of many sports skills protection from injuries and daily life activities Therefore it is very important to understand the factors affecting postural stability well
Joint range of motion muscle strength and flexibility are among the factors affecting postural stability Hip knee and ankle joint movements controlled along the kinetic chain are important in providing postural stability The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of lower extremity flexibility on dynamic postural stability in healthy individuals Healthy volunteers between the ages of 18-25 will be included in the study and flexibility and postural stability assessments will be performed
